Adjust stock quantity or cost

Quantity and cost adjustments solve different problems. A quantity adjustment removes stock for a reason such as waste; a cost adjustment changes valuation without changing quantity.

Remove a quantity

1. Open Inventory › More › Quantity Adjustment.
2. Create a draft for the location and select the reason.
3. Add items and enter quantities to remove.
4. Review units and choose Submit Adjustment.

Change a cost

1. Open Cost Adjustment and choose the location.
2. Add eligible From Transactions items.
3. Enter each new unit cost and review the original.
4. Choose Submit Adjustment.

Manual-cost items are not eligible for the transaction-cost adjustment workflow.

Before posting, check the location, item unit and document status. A saved draft and a posted movement have different effects. Review the resulting stock and inventory history after completion, and keep the reference when investigating a difference. Use a new corrective document when a posted record cannot be edited.
