Adjust stock

Use an adjustment when one item or lot needs its physical available quantity corrected. The app calculates the difference from the current available balance and writes a manual inventory event.

Adjust to a new quantity

You do not enter +3 or -3. Enter the corrected physical count. The kernel posts manual_adjustment_increase or manual_adjustment_decrease for the difference.

1. Open the item or lot adjustment. Choose the item and location to correct. If no location is supplied, the API resolves the default inventory location.

   Adjust stock

   Item

   Screened Compost

   Location

   Main Yard

2. Enter the corrected quantity. For untracked items, enter one New quantity. For tracked items, enter a new quantity for each counted lot. A new lot number is allowed for discovered stock, but it must not duplicate an existing lot for that item.

   Tracked item / available lots

   Lot	Current	New quantity
   R-114	28	26
   R-118	0	18

3. Choose a reason and confirm. Pick a required reason and add an optional note. The reason is stored beside the inventory event for audit review.

   Reason	Use when
   cycle_count	A routine count found a small difference.
   found_stock	Physical stock exists but was not recorded.
   damaged_spoiled	Stock was damaged, spoiled, or otherwise lost.
   data_correction	You are correcting an earlier data entry issue.
   other	The correction does not fit the other reasons.

Blocked and rejected stock are separate

Manual adjustment counts available stock. To move quantity between available, blocked, and rejected, use Block, release and scrap instead.
