Inventory Adjustment
An inventory adjustment corrects recorded stock to reflect a verified quantity or other authorized change.
Definition
In general ERP practice
An inventory adjustment corrects recorded stock to reflect a verified quantity or other authorized change. It should explain a difference rather than substitute for recording normal receipts and deliveries.
In Odoo
Odoo compares counted and on-hand quantities and applies an adjustment for the difference. Locations and lot or serial identifiers matter; a count adjustment is not the same warehouse operation as a supplier receipt or customer return.
Official Odoo documentation
The Odoo-specific explanation above is based on the documentation for Odoo 19. Features and workflows can differ in other versions.
