Stock Adjustments
Manually adjust stock levels, record damaged items, and review the full adjustment history.
Sometimes you need to change stock levels manually, for example when items are damaged or to correct an error on one product. For a full physical count across many items, use Stocktake instead. Stocktake differences appear here as Manual Count.
How to Adjust Stock
- Go to Inventory in the sidebar.
- Find the product variant and open its actions menu.
- Choose the action:
| Action | Description |
|---|---|
| Adjust Stock | Add or remove units with a + / - quantity; the dialog previews the before and after stock. When adding stock, you can also enter the unit cost (used for profit reporting). Reason is optional. |
| Consume / Damaged | Record damaged or consumed units removed from stock. A reason is required. |
- Click Confirm. The stock level updates immediately.
Viewing Adjustment History
Go to Inventory > Adjustments to see a history of every stock change:
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Product / Variant | Which item was adjusted |
| Type | Why the stock changed: Sale, Return, Purchase, Transfer In/Out, Manual Count, Shrinkage, Damaged, or Other |
| Quantity | The change and the stock before and after |
| Reason | The note recorded with the change |
| Date / User | When it happened and who did it |
You can filter by store, adjustment type, and date range. Automatic operations (sales, returns, purchase orders, transfers) are logged here alongside your manual adjustments, giving you a complete audit trail.
