How to manually adjust inventory quantity

Open an inventory item, select its On Hand quantity, enter either an adjustment or a new total, choose a reason and save the change.

Before you start: Confirm the correct item and location, count the physical stock, and decide whether you are entering a change amount or replacing the total quantity.

Steps:

  1. Navigate to Inventory via the left menu.

  2. Open the item for which you want to adjust the quantity.

  3. Scroll to the Quantity section of the page.

  4. Click on the On Hand quantity.

Expected outcome: The On Hand quantity changes and the adjustment appears in the item's stock-movement history. If the result is wrong, check whether you used Adjust (a positive or negative difference) or New (the replacement total), then create a correcting adjustment with an accurate reason.
