Make Inventory Adjustments

Inventory adjustments can be made using a few different options. If you have pending inventory orders with a status of Placed that you have physically received the shipment, you'll want to ensure that the order status is set to Received to begin.

Tip: We recommend printing a current listing of your on-hand amounts to compare with your actual inventory amounts before proceeding with the options below.

Option 1: Edit the On Hand field Directly on the Product List (Recommended)

Option 1 is best if you'd like to re-enter your correct On Hand amounts from the product list, whether minor adjustments need to be made or a lot.

Important Note:  The wholesale amount is calculated from the Default Discount percent located in Inventory Orders Settings. Ensure that your discount is set before following the steps below. View

1. From the Product menu, select Product List (or from the Products - Inventory group on the main toolbar click  Inventory).
2. From the View drop-down menu, if you previously printed an inventory listing based on one of the following views, ensure it is selected (Worksheet or Inventory). Otherwise, you can leave it as the Default view.
3. Adjust the On Hand (and optionally Ideal) field for any necessary items.

Option 2: Create a Product Order to Re-enter Your Base Inventory

6. To search and add additional items not found, click Find, or alternatively, type a partial part number or name in the Description field.
7. After all of the items have been added to the order, click   Save to save and close the order.

Step 3: Place/Receive the Base Inventory Order & Clear Totals

7. Change all amounts to zero, then   OK   .View
8. When finished, if you need to enter the totals for past orders that were not previously imported or manually entered but were included in your base inventory order, see Entering Past Inventory Product Orders.
