Adjusting Inventory

In the Inventory Detail dialog box, you can’t directly edit the Effective date, the Cost Per Unit, and the Qty On Hand because these fields require accounting entries when they’re adjusted. To change this information, you make the adjustments in a separate dialog box.

To make an inventory adjustment:

1. Choose Inventory > Manage Inventory, or click the Manage Inventory icon in the Inventory section of the workspace.  
2. In the Inventory dialog box, select the item you need to adjust and click Detail, or double-click the item.
3. In the Inventory Detail dialog box, click the Financial tab.
4. Click the Adjust button.
5. In the Inventory Item Adjustment dialog box, make any needed adjustments.
   The amount that you type in the Change in Quantity box should be the difference between the record and the actual quantity on hand. For example, if your record lists 12 items, but you only have 9 items in stock, type -3.
6. Type a Reason for the adjustment for historical purposes.
7. If you wish, type a Description.
8. Click OK.
