Inventory Adjustments

Purpose and when to use this record

BriskCorrect storeson-hand inventory adjustmentsfor a warehouse with an auditable reason, quantities, costs, and resulting accounting impact.

At a glance

  • Identify it by: Status, and Date Created.

  • Check its business context: Warehouse, and Balancing Account.

  • Why care: Warehouse, item, unit, quantity, and cost must describe the same physical movement. A wrong warehouse or unit can make availability and valuation misleading.

  • Why care: Treat posted, processed, paid, reversed, and edit-locked states as partcontrols—not ofordinary descriptive fields. Confirm the source transaction before changing any state that the screen permits you to change.

  • Why care: Status communicates workflow progress to other staff. Change it only when the underlying work, approval, payment, or handoff has actually occurred.

  1. Open the detail page. Compare Warehouse, and Balancing Account with the supporting document or approved request.

DeleteCommon mistakes and troubleshooting

  • The record will not save: Recheck Balancing Account and any message beside the field. A required related record may also be inactive or unavailable to your role.

  • The record saved but is not available where expected: Recheck Status, and Edit Locked, then clear the filters on the destination list. A saved record can still be inactive, unpublished, locked, unapproved, or in the wrong workflow state.

  • The values look right but the result is wrong: Open Warehouse, and Balancing Account from the detail page. Correct the specific relationship that is wrong instead of forcing a recordtotal
