Moving inventory items by using adjustments

You can use adjustment transactions to update the quantity of inventory items and to transfer items from one storage area to another.

Adjustment transactions
Adjustment transactions are used for increasing or decreasing the recorded quantity of inventory items. The status of the selected assets changes according to the adjustment.
Adjusting quantities of inventory items
You use the adjustment transaction to add or subtract quantities of an inventory item. For example, you can record inventory items that are lost or being repaired, or you can adjust the quantity following a cycle count.
Transferring items between storage areas
You use the adjustment transaction to transfer inventory items from one storage area to another, or to merge one inventory item record with another inventory item record. For example, you can transfer inventory items from one shelf to another.
Assigning cycle count work tasks
As an inventory manager, you need to get a count of the actual inventory items in stock and ensure that your records are accurate. You assign the cycle count work task to the service technician.
