Adjusting Stock Manually

You can adjust stock for any product at any time. Every adjustment is recorded in the audit trail.

Use manual adjustments when: You have done a physical count, received stock outside the PO system, need to write off damaged goods, or need to correct an error. For receiving from a supplier, use PO receiving instead.

From the Products page

Click the adjustment icon next to any product in the products table to open the adjustment dialog.

From the Product Detail page

Click "Adjust Stock" on the product detail page.
