Adding an adjustment
To perform an adjustment:
- Select Execution > Inventory > Adjustments. The Adjustment screen is displayed in List view.
- Click New. The Adjustment screen and Adjustment Detail screen open in Form view.
-
Specify information into these required fields:
- Adjustment Number
- System assigned number for the adjustment.
Note: The application creates an adjustment number, which displays in the Adjustment Number field. You can change this number to a non-sequential value, for example, by adding a letter or name. If the number is changed to a sequential number that has not yet been used by the application, it could later cause duplication errors, resulting in application termination.
- Owner
- Owner of the item to be adjusted.
-
Note: The most efficient way to create adjustment records with all the required data is to input either the Item or the Location you want to adjust. Then, perform a search for the correct inventory record. This lookup provides the Lot, License Plate, Pack, and current inventory for the record.
- Item
- Item being adjusted.
- Location
- Physical location of the item in the warehouse.
- Lot
- The lot number of the inventory.
- Pack
- The pack code that specifies the method of packing for this inventory.
- UOM
- The unit of measure of the adjusted inventory.
- LPN
- The License Plate Number of the inventory
- Reason
- The reason for the adjustment.
- Adjustment Quantity
- Quantity of item to be adjusted. This is a positive or negative number to reflect the amount of change.
The following fields are optional.
- Target Quantity
- Inventory quantity after the adjustment has been made.
-
Note: You can input either the Adjustment Quantity or the Target Quantity. Since one of these quantities is considered input, the system calculates the other value.
- Current Quantity
- Quantity before you make an adjustment. This field is populated after you select the record using the lookup function.
-
Click
Save. The record is no
longer active, indicating that the adjustment has been processed and cannot be
changed.
Note:
- Allocated inventory cannot be negatively adjusted.
- Every adjustment requires a reason.
- It is recommended that you limit user access to this feature.
-
Note that adjustments can also be performed using the Visual Inventory screen.
- Execution > Inventory > Visual Inventory
- See the Visual Inventory chapter in this guide for addition information.
