Add an adjustment for a material

To create a stock adjustment for a material:

  1. Navigate to your Material’s summary page
  2. Click the Adjustments tab
  3. On the page that appears, click the Add Adjustment button
  4. On the form that appears, complete the details for the adjustment being made
  5. Click the Save button.

Your inventory stock on hand and unit prices will be automatically recalculated each time an adjustment record is added.

You can also use this method to account for damaged materials by adding a negative quantity adjustment.

Please note: it is not recommended to create positive adjustments to increase your stock as there will be no cost attributed and thus your COGS calculations will be incorrect. Expenses should always be used when increasing stock so that costs can be associated. If you have however received gifted materials of zero cost, then positive adjustments can be used for this purpose.
