Adjusting the balance of rotating items

Question & Answer


Question

How do you adjust the balance of rotating items?

Answer

You cannot adjust the inventory balance for a rotating item using the "Inventory Balance Adjustment" option.

In order to adjust the balance of rotating items, you may need to create a rotating asset for that rotating item.

For instance :

1. Go to the Inventory application - Open a rotating item 'ROTITEM01'




Current Balance is 0.

2. If you click 'Select Action - Inventory Adjustments - Current Balance', you will get error 'BMXAA1799E - A current balance cannot be performed on a rotating item'.



3. In order to adjust the current balance manually, go to the Assets application.

4. Create a new asset for that rotating item.




Then go to the Inventory application. You can see that balance becomes 1.



The rotating item's balance should then match the number of rotating assets.
