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.

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.
