How to Adjust Inventory
Inventory adjustment is based on whether the site uses inventoried quantity. This setting is governed by the site setting, Immediate Count Updates.
- When the Immediate Count Updates option is not enabled (OFF) for a site, this site uses inventoried quantity. For the consumable inventory found at this site, the user has the option to adjust inventory quantity and on hand quantity.
- When the Immediate Count Updates option is enabled (ON) for a site, it does not use inventoried quantity. For the consumable inventory found at this site, the user has the option to adjust the on hand quantity, but does not have the option to adjust inventoried quantity.
Important: If the site does not use the Immediate Count Updates option (OFF), you may adjust the on hand quantity and the inventoried quantity for the item. This is because the system retains both an inventoried quantity and an on hand quantity for a consumable item.
Note: If the site uses the Immediate Count Updates option (ON), you may adjust the on hand quantity ONLY for the item. This is because the system only retains the on hand quantity for a consumable item.
