Adjustments Overview
Adjustments are a simple way to alter inventory levels, both positive and negative amounts. This movement is applied immediately and tied directly to the logged-in user. The user first has to have permission to view or create adjustments. An adjustment can be altered or deleted as long as it has not been applied. If it has been applied, it can only be viewed.

Remember, when making an adjustment, a negative number is to be used if you are removing an item.

Buttons:
- Print Report: By clicking this button, you can download the adjustment record as a local file in different formats, such as PDF, CSV, and Excel.
- Copy Adjustment: This button allows you to copy the changes made to the current adjustment record so that you can repeat the adjustment of the items later or whenever needed.
- Add to Do: This button helps to assign an adjustment task to a responsible person to complete it later or at a given time (See Figure H).
Figure E
- Apply & New: This button allows you to apply the changes and refresh the adjustment form as new. Once the changes are applied, they cannot be altered.
- Apply: The Apply button helps you apply all the changes and selections that have been made in the form. You will be able to see the changes made in the same form, but once applied, the changes can’t be altered and will become “View Only.”
- Delete: This button helps you delete the complete adjustment record.
- Save & Close: This button will save all your changes and close the current screen, but they won’t be applied unless you click any of the Apply buttons.
- Save & New: This button also helps you save the changes and refresh the screen with a new form.
- Save: This button helps you save the changes made in the adjustment form. This button also serves the purpose of adding multiple products to a single adjustment form so that you don’t have to initiate multiple adjustment processes for different products at a particular location.
- Cancel: Cancel
button cancels all the changes/editions done in the "Add New" adjustment form.
Modifying Adjustment:

Once the changes are saved and applied, you can’t make any modifications or alterations, and the form becomes View Only. So, there are no steps to edit an applied adjustment.
Printing an Adjustment Summary

the steps mentioned below to print the summary of the adjustment process:
- Click
on the “Print Summary” Button (See Figure
A) to download a copy of the records generated.

report will be downloaded as a local file immediately in a different format (See Figure F).

Figure F
- Export Type: Adjustment records can be downloaded as a file type, e.g., PDF, CSV, or EXCEL as indicated in Figure F.
- Include Header: Turn this YES/NO slider to YES if you wish to include a header on your downloaded file; otherwise, set it to NO.
- Repeat Header on Every Page: Slide the YES/NO slider button to YES if you want the header on every page; otherwise, flip it to NO.
- Print Title on Every Page: Set the slider to YES, if you want the title on every page.
Copying an Adjustment
Follow
the steps mentioned below to copy the selected adjustment:
- Click
on the “Copy Adjustment” button (See Figure
A) to copy the changes made to the current adjustment record so that
you can repeat the adjustment of the items later or whenever required.
- On
clicking, a form shown in Figure G appears.
Figure G
- Reverse Quantity Signs: If this is toggled to true, it copies the adjustment using the exact opposite values of the items that were applied to the original adjustment. An example would be if -5 was adjusted in a product on the original adjustment, then +5 would be on the newly copied adjustment.
Deleting an Adjustment

The delete option is only available for adjustment records that are saved or assigned as Add To-Do. The applied adjustment doesn’t have a delete option (See Figure H).
Figure H
This part of the document specifically answers your questions related to various fields provided on the “Add/Modify Form” (See Figure A).
- Date: This field is by default filled by the system, which evidently shows the current date.
- Memo: This is the field that gives some details about the adjustment.
- From Location: This is the name of the location where the adjustment of the items/products is being made.
Add Products to Adjustment Fields
- Name: It is
the name of the product/item.
- UPC: This is
the Unique Product Code by which a product is recognized in an inventory.
- QTY: It
defines the number of units that are being added to or supplied from a particular
store.
- Cost: This is the amount for which the store bought the
product.
- Total Cost: It is the result of no. of units of product X cost per product.
- Retail Each: This is the amount for which a unit of product is to be sold.
- Actions: This field provides two actions, i.e., edit and delete. This option is only available for Add new, saved, or Add-to-do adjustment forms. (See Figure I).
Figure I
- Edit Button: This button allows you to edit the quantity of the “Not Applied” adjustment.
- Delete: This button allows you to delete the entire adjustment record.
When you click on the edit/modify button, a screen
similar to Figure I appears.
Buttons:
- Replace: This button will replace the existing product
quantity with the new one. For example, (See Figure I), the quantity is “-9." In the edit
adjustment, if you enter “1” and choose to Replace before you hit the Save button, “-9” will be replaced
by “1.”

This button allows the addition of a certain number to the
existing quantity of the item/product. For example, if the existing quantity is
“5” and you edit it
with “5” and
you choose “Append”
before clicking Save, the
quantity value will be changed to “10.”
In this case, the
existing value of the quantity is negative, e.g., “-9,” and when appending some value, you
will get a warning message to make you aware that you don’t have enough items
in the inventory and if you still wish to make changes. (See Figure K below)
