2.Create a new Inventory Adjustment via the menu option New… New1 at the top of the grid

5.Enter in the reason for the inventory adjustment of 5th Street Opening Inventory. As an inventory adjustment can be for many reasons, identifying it here will provide information for others and reporting purposes.

8.Enter the Quantity Adjustment of 3. If a positive number, this “adds” to inventory. If we were to enter in a negative number such as -3, this “removes” from inventory.
9.You will note that the warehouse selection for the part defaults to the Default warehouse. In this example, we want this inventory adjustment for the warehouse 5th Street, so we need to select that warehouse.
