Adjusting Item Quantity - Affecting Value

  1. Choose Index to Reports from the Reports menu. Select Items List (Summary) from the report list and click Display. Verify the current quantity of the item you want to change.
  2. In the Inventory Command Center, click the Adjust Inventory button.
  3. Enter the item’s number in the Item # column. In the Quantity column, enter the quantity of the adjustment, not the new quantity. For example: if your Items List (Summary) Report currently shows 10 units on hand, and you want to change it to 15, enter 5 in the Quantity column. Or, if the Items List (Summary) Report shows 10 units on hand and you want to change it to 8, enter -2 in the Quantity column.
  4. Enter $0 in the Unit Cost and Amount columns.
  5. Enter the correct Location, if you use Locations
  6. In the Account # column, enter the item’s asset account number. It was assigned to the item when you created it. Note: Since you are adjusting the item's quantity and not the value, there will not be a transaction recorded in the Inventory Transaction Journal. The reason being, there are no values to be debited or credited.
  7. Click Record.
  8. Display an Item List (Summary) Report to verify the change to your items quantity.
