Inventory Adjustment
Use Inventory Adjustment to correct stock counts when the physical quantity in your warehouse doesn't match the quantity recorded in ABSS — after a physical audit, goods damage, or system migration. Every adjustment is logged with a reason code for your audit trail.

Save and Confirm — stock counts update immediately in the View Inventory screen.
Common adjustment reasons
Physical count variance
Stock in ABSS doesn't match the physical count after a warehouse audit.
Damaged goods write-off
Items damaged in storage or transit that can no longer be sold.
Opening stock entry
Setting up initial stock when migrating from another system to ABSS.
Sample / internal use
Stock consumed internally (R&D samples, office use) not via a sales invoice.
Theft or shrinkage
Unexplained stock loss identified during an audit.
Production waste
Raw material consumed during production beyond the standard BoM quantity.
Adjustments affect inventory valuation
Each adjustment posts an accounting entry to the Inventory Variance account in your Chart of Accounts. A decrease in stock creates a debit to Inventory Variance (an expense). Ensure your CA reviews large adjustments as they affect the P&L.
