Stock adjustments

Record stock corrections, checks, and transfers, and review the movement history.

Last updated:

Use Inventory → Adjustments to record stock corrections, checks, and transfers, and to review the movement history behind a quantity change. Each row is a single movement in the ledger, so the running balance always traces back to a recorded reason.

Columns

  • Occurred: when the movement was recorded
  • Type: the kind of movement (for example a correction, count, or transfer)
  • Stock item: the affected item — opens the stock item detail form
  • Delta: the signed change applied (for example +5 or -2)
  • Before: the balance before the movement
  • After: the balance after the movement
  • Location / transfer: the location involved, or the from/to pair for a transfer
  • Note: the reason or reference captured with the movement

How it is used

  • Correct a miscount or a damaged-stock write-off
  • Record the outcome of a stock check
  • Move quantity between locations as a transfer

Adjustments are the audit trail for manual stock changes: nothing alters a balance without a corresponding row here.

Movement types

  • Manual adjustment: direct increase or decrease with a reason.
  • Stock check: count-based correction after checking the physical stock.
  • Warehouse transfer: movement from one location to another.

Use the note/reference field to capture the reason clearly. Good notes make it much easier to reconcile stock history later.

Relationship with stock items

Stock item detail includes the same movement history for one SKU. Use the stock item page when investigating one product, and Inventory → Adjustments when reviewing all manual movements across products and locations.
