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.
