INV: Adjustments

Overview

The Adjustments screen allows for the entry of adjustments for a specified Job #. This may be a contracted job or a generic job such as Warehouse or Inventory. Adjustments are commonly entered after a physical inventory count in order to adjust the Quantity On Hand information to make it equal to the actual quantity in stock.

Items entered as a negative number are subtracted from the Item Master file. Items entered with a positive number are added to the inventory for the specified item. When changes to items are made on this screen they will update the Quantity On Hand and Total Cost On Hand in the Item Master file.

Each item that is to be adjusted is entered into the Inventory Adjustment Details grid. The Item Number and Quantity are entered. The Price defaults from the Item Master File. The Extension value is calculated automatically, but may be manually adjusted, if needed. Item Information displays for any item selected.

Inventory Adjustment Details grid

Item Number

Enter the Item Number associated with the Adjustment, or use the Lookup to locate the Item Number.

Description

Displays the Description of the Item Number based on the description in the Item Master File.

Quantity

Use the Quantity field to enter the quantity to be adjusted.

To decrease the Quantity On Hand and the Total Cost in the Item Master File for this item, enter a Negative number.
To increase the Quantity On Hand, enter a Positive number.

You may use decimals.

Example:  If the unit of measure for the item is a case and you need to adjust only a half of a case, then enter as -.5 to signify that only half of a case is being adjusted out of inventory.

Price

The Price field defaults from the Item Master File for this item. The price displays based on the Job Cost Method entered on the Item Master File for this item. Normally the Standard Cost is used to calculate the cost.

Measure

The Measure field defaults from the Unit of Measure from the Item Master File for this item.

Extension

The extension is computed based upon the following calculation:

Quantity x Price = Extension

If the Quantity is modified, the Extension value is recalculated automatically. Negative adjustments are displayed/ in parentheses ( ). The Extension amount can be entered without a Quantity, to reflect a dollar adjustment to the Total Cost On Hand in the Item Master File.

Warning:  If you are making a negative adjustment to the extension amount you must enter a negative number either before or after the new extension amount. Entry of a positive number will blank out the Price field and increase the Total Cost On Hand in the Item Master File.
