Adjust stock (correct a balance)

When to adjust

Adjustments are for reality corrections: you counted 4.2 kg of tomatoes but the system says 5.0; a crate was damaged; a scale was off. They are not for normal usage — recipes and wastage handle that.

Post an adjustment

1. 1
   Inventory → the item row → Adjust.
2. 2
   Enter the Change (+/−) in any allowed unit, and a Reason — the form says it plainly: "A reason is required because this cannot be edited or deleted."
3. 3
   Post — "Stock adjustment posted to the ledger".

Verify

Open the item's Ledger — the adjustment appears with your reason, the change and the new balance.
