How to Add a Stock Adjustment

Stock Adjustment allows users to report variances in items received so that it is recorded.

Overview

Recording stock adjustments is quick and easy. 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.

1. Location
   Enter the location of adjustment (store/branch location).
   
   
2. Adjustment type
   
   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.

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.
   
   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.
