Correcting stock
Two tools correct stock, depending on the reason for the difference.
| Situation | Tool |
|---|---|
| The physical count does not match the displayed stock | Adjust Stock |
| Goods are broken, lost, stolen or expired | Write-off |
Both leave a trace in Inventory → Stock Movements.
Before you start
- You have the Warehouseman or Administrator role.
- First check the item's stock movements: the difference often comes from a purchase not yet received or a forgotten transfer, which is better recorded than corrected.
Adjusting stock after a count
- Open Inventory → Items, then the item's page.
- Click Adjust Stock.
- Enter the quantity change: a positive number to increase stock, a negative one to decrease it. The +1, -1, +10 and -10 buttons fill in the field.
- Enter the reason, optional but recommended for auditing, then confirm with Adjust Stock.
Writing off lost or damaged goods
- Open Inventory → Write-Offs, then New Write-Off.
- Choose the Warehouse, then the Item. A write-off covers a single item.
- Enter the Quantity and the Condition: Damaged, Unusable, Lost or Expired.
- Set the Source Type if needed: Manual adjustment (the default), Order return, Purchase return, Expiration, Damage incident, Theft, Quality control or Shrinkage.
- Add the reason, check the estimated cost in the summary, then click Create Write-Off.
Inoxal example: 2 sheets of 1 mm aluminium scratched while unloading, an estimated cost of 720 MAD.
The written-off quantity is removed from sellable stock as soon as it is created. If Auto Approve Write-offs is turned off, an administrator must then approve it; a rejection gives the stock back.
