What is an Inventory Adjustment and When Should I Complete One?

Sometimes adjustments need to be made to the Inventory. Negative Adjustments may be required for the following reasons:

  • Breakage - the inventory has been damaged and cannot be sold.
  • Wastage - the inventory is out of date, or needs to be thrown away.
  • Write-offs - inventory loss due to other reasons such as theft.
  • Consumption of own inventory - the inventory that you use or consume in the course of your business.

Positive Adjustment can be done the same way in Store Inventory.
