Types of Adjustments

You specify the type of adjustment you want for each item on a transaction. You can enter six types of adjustments using the Adjustments form:

• Quantity increase. Increases the item quantity on hand at the location by the number you specify.

Quantity increase adjustments affect the item's unit cost, but the extended cost does not change.

The program does not create general ledger transactions for this type of adjustment because the value of the inventory does not change.

• Quantity decrease. Decreases the item quantity on hand at the location by the number you specify.

Quantity decrease adjustments affect the item's unit cost, but the extended cost does not change.

The program does not create general ledger transactions for this type of adjustment.

• Cost increase. Increases the extended item cost at the location by the amount you specify. Inventory Control recalculates the unit cost based on the increased extended cost.

• Cost decrease. Decreases the extended item cost at the location by the amount you specify. Inventory Control recalculates the unit cost based on the decreased extended cost.

• Both Increase. Increases both the item quantity on hand and the extended item cost at the location by the increases you specify. Inventory Control recalculates the unit cost based on the increases.

• Both decrease. Reduces both the item quantity on hand and the extended item cost at the location by the decreases you specify. Inventory Control recalculates the unit cost based on the decreases.
