What's crucial in this process is identifying the correct adjustment type as it dictates how Resto iQ adjusts the stock level.      #### Recording Stock Adjustments To start recording inventory adjustments, click "Add Stock Adjustment", and you should see this card. ![](https://support.mosaic-solutions.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Oct-09-2024-09-17-20-3790-AM.png?width=1226&height=688&name=image-png-Oct-09-2024-09-17-20-3790-AM.png) 1. **Location** Enter the location of adjustment (store/branch location). 2. **Adjustment type** ![](https://support.mosaic-solutions.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Oct-09-2024-09-17-22-2903-AM.png?width=283&height=251&name=image-png-Oct-09-2024-09-17-22-2903-AM.png) Adjustment types are important as this instructs Resto iQ **if the item is an addition or a subtraction **from the current stock level. In the example image above, these are the types that subtract from the current stock level: spoilage/sample/missing, while delivery/beginning inv adds to the current stock level. 3. **Note** (optional, but recommended) While it is optional, we recommend putting a note here as a way to document the adjustment. This aids future recall and backtracking. 4. **Import** (optional) This feature is coming soon! 5. **Stock Adjustment Items** This is where users will enter inventory items that need adjusting. Just type the inventory name for Resto iQ to recall the item configured and enter the adjustment quantity. ![](https://support.mosaic-solutions.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Oct-09-2024-09-17-26-4229-AM.png?width=1020&height=548&name=image-png-Oct-09-2024-09-17-26-4229-AM.png) In this example after entering "apple" and selecting the item recalled by Resto iQ, we can now proceed to entering the "Adjust Qty". If the **adjustment type** is a subtraction to current stock level, any value entered here will decrease the level. Conversely if the adjustment type is an addition to the stock level, it will increase. Important: it is important to only use digits here and avoid "+" or "-" symbols. Example, if we enter: \- Adjustment Type: Spoilage (decrease) \- Adjustment Qty: 10 = Resto iQ will *decrease *the current stock level from 10 to 0.    Inventory Adjustments can be versatile, depending on the configuration that works with your organization. - [Mosaic POS](https://support.mosaic-solutions.com/knowledge/mosaic-pos?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Placing Orders and Table Management](https://support.mosaic-solutions.com/knowledge/mosaic-pos?hsLang=en#placing-orders-and-table-management) - [Logging In, Shift Change, Day End](https://support.mosaic-solutions.com/knowledge/mosaic-pos?hsLang=en#logging-in-shift-change-day-end) - [Billing and Payment Processing](https://support.mosaic-solutions.com/knowledge/mosaic-pos?hsLang=en#billing-and-payment-processing) - [Getting Started with your POS](https://support.mosaic-solutions.com/knowledge/mosaic-pos?hsLang=en#getting-started-with-your-pos) - [Basic Troubleshooting](https://support.mosaic-solutions.com/knowledge/mosaic-pos?hsLang=en#basic-troubleshooting) - [Generating Reports](https://support.mosaic-solutions.com/knowledge/mosaic-pos?hsLang=en#generating-reports) - [Menu Management](https://support.mosaic-solutions.com/knowledge/mosaic-pos?hsLang=en#menu-management) - [Integrations](https://support.mosaic-solutions.com/knowledge/mosaic-pos?hsLang=en#integrations) - [Getting Started in Resto iQ](https://support.mosaic-solutions.com/knowledge/getting-started-in-resto-iq?hsLang=en#main-content) - [General Knowledge](https://support.mosaic-solutions.com/knowledge/getting-started-in-resto-iq?hsLang=en#general-knowledge) - [User Management](https://support.mosaic-solutions.com/knowledge/getting-started-in-resto-iq?hsLang=en#user-management) - [Navigation](https://support.mosaic-solutions.com/knowledge/getting-started-in-resto-iq?hsLang=en#navigation) - [Resto iQ Analytics](https://support.mosaic-solutions.com/knowledge/resto-iq-analytics?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Product Reports](https://support.mosaic-solutions.com/knowledge/resto-iq-analytics?hsLang=en#product-reports) - [Sales Reports](https://support.mosaic-solutions.com/knowledge/resto-iq-analytics?hsLang=en#sales-reports) - [General Knowledge](https://support.mosaic-solutions.com/knowledge/resto-iq-analytics?hsLang=en#general-knowledge) - [Other Reports](https://support.mosaic-solutions.com/knowledge/resto-iq-analytics?hsLang=en#other-reports) - [Resto iQ Inventory and Purchasing](https://support.mosaic-solutions.com/knowledge/resto-iq-inventory-and-purchasing?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Resto iQ Inventory - Reports](https://support.mosaic-solutions.com/knowledge/resto-iq-inventory-and-purchasing?hsLang=en#resto-iq-inventory-reports) - [Resto iQ Inventory - My Inventory](https://support.mosaic-solutions.com/knowledge/resto-iq-inventory-and-purchasing?hsLang=en#resto-iq-inventory-my-inventory) - [Resto iQ - Purchasing](https://support.mosaic-solutions.com/knowledge/resto-iq-inventory-and-purchasing?hsLang=en#resto-iq-purchasing) - [Resto iQ Inventory - My Ingredients](https://support.mosaic-solutions.com/knowledge/resto-iq-inventory-and-purchasing?hsLang=en#resto-iq-inventory-my-ingredients) - [Resto iQ Inventory - Menu Items](https://support.mosaic-solutions.com/knowledge/resto-iq-inventory-and-purchasing?hsLang=en#resto-iq-inventory-menu-items) - [Mosaic Analytics](https://support.mosaic-solutions.com/knowledge/mosaic-analytics?hsLang=en) - [Mosaic Inventory v2](https://support.mosaic-solutions.com/knowledge/mosaic-inventory-v2?hsLang=en) - [Mosaic Purchasing v2](https://support.mosaic-solutions.com/knowledge/mosaic-purchasing-v2?hsLang=en) - [Mosaic Back Office v2](https://support.mosaic-solutions.com/knowledge/mosaic-back-office-v2?hsLang=en) - [Contact Client Support](https://support.mosaic-solutions.com/helixpaysupport/contactus) [![Chill listening crop-3](https://support.mosaic-solutions.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Mosaic%20Circle%20M%20Icon%20Blue-2.png?width=24&height=24&name=Mosaic%20Circle%20M%20Icon%20Blue-2.png "Chill listening crop-3")](http://mosaic-solutions.com) Mosaic Solution Support and Help Center Copyright © 2026, Mosaic Solutions
