Adjust
Quantity by
How Do I...
In the Inventory Adjustments
window, enter the amount to adjust the quantity by. If you're subtracting
from the current inventory, enter a minus sign before the number.
There are two types of inventory adjustments, increases in quantity
and decreases in quantity.
- For an adjustment
up, you will enter a positive quantity and can also enter a unit
cost. This will increase your quantity on hand and total inventory value
much as a purchase would. You could use an adjustment up if you previously
miscounted your inventory and now have more units on hand than you thought
you had.
- For an adjustment
down, you will enter a negative quantity, but you can't enter a
unit cost. Sage 50 will figure out the cost value that these units are
being removed at, much like a sale. An inventory adjustment down will
decrease the quantity on hand as well as the total value. You could use
an adjustment down if something was stolen or broken, if inventory was
previously miscounted, or if you used the item for a job. When you make
an adjustment, the Cost of Goods Sold, Inventory Total Value, and Inventory
G/L accounts are all updated.
