Why use adjustment reasons

An adjustment reason is a short label that turns a raw count change into something you can audit for shrinkage, damage and corrections.

An adjustment reason is a short label you attach to a stock change, such as Damaged, Cycle Count or Found Stock. It turns a raw number change into something you can audit later.

What do reasons give you?

• A clear trail: each recorded change can show what it was for.
• A direction control. A reason can apply to increases only, decreases only, or both.
• An optional Requires Approval flag for changes that should be reviewed.

Where do reasons show up?

1. In the Reason dropdown on the adjustment form.
2. In your records, so you can trace shrinkage and corrections back to a cause.

Tip. Reason is optional on each adjustment, but choosing one consistently makes your shrinkage and damage reporting far more useful.
