Adjust Stock Manually

Overview

How to record a stock movement against a material — restock, usage, waste/damage, adjustment, or return — and update the held inventory.

Who This Is For

Business Owner, Sole Trader, Admin, and Supervisor (where role permissions allow).

Before You Start

• The material must already exist in your Materials library.
• Know the transaction type (Restock, Usage, Waste/Damage, Adjustment, or Return) and the quantity. A reason is optional but recommended for corrections.

Steps

1. Select Materials from the sidebar or main menu.
2. Find the material that needs a stock correction.
3. Select Adjust Stock next to that material.
4. Choose the transaction type — for example Restock, Usage, Waste/Damage, Adjustment, or Return. Read any on-screen description if shown to pick the most accurate type.
5. Enter the quantity being added, removed, returned, or adjusted.
6. (Optional) Add a reason — recommended for corrections or unrecorded movements.
7. Select Update Stock.
8. Confirm the material quantity has updated.

What Happens Next

The new stock quantity is reflected on the Materials list. Where supported, the adjustment is recorded as an inventory transaction so it can be reviewed later from the Inventory page.
