How do I record a stock adjustment in?

It's important to ensure your stock levels are correct so you know how much you have to sell. You can use the Adjustment in option to increase the stock level stored for a product. Product adjustments only apply to product records with the type of stock item as they are the only records that have stock levels. Other types, non-stock and service, do not have stock levels.

When you use the Adjustment in option the following updates are made:

• The in stock quantity of the product increases by the quantity of the adjustment. This is recorded as an Adjustment In (AI)
• The cost price on the product record updates with the cost price of the adjustment
• The product activity updates with details of the transaction
