Everyday stock management

Record a stock adjustment

Correct quantities with a recorded reason.

On this page

Step by step

  1. Open Stock levels and choose Adjust stock.
  2. Select the product or variant and location.
  3. Choose What happened?, then enter Quantity added or Quantity written off. Choose the Reason and add any Notes.
  4. Review the details and submit.
  5. Check Recent movements. If approval is required, check the Approvals queue before assuming stock has changed.

Good to know

Use receiving for deliveries, transfers for branch moves and stocktakes for counted corrections. Every adjustment leaves a history.

If you get stuck

If an adjustment is pending, an owner or admin must review it. If stock removal is blocked, check available stock and the negative-stock setting.

Available actions depend on your role, enabled modules and plan.
