Inventory shows what you have, where. Stock is counted per location, so the same product can be plentiful in one branch and out in another.
When to adjust
- Entering opening stock when you first set up.
- After a physical count, to match reality.
- Breakage, theft, or expiry write-offs.
- Moving stock between locations.
Adjustments are how your figures drift from the truth if used casually. Every one is recorded with your name and a reason. Where a purchase order or a sale would explain the movement, use those instead — they leave a better trail.
WakaERP refuses to take stock below zero. If an adjustment is rejected, the count you are correcting from is already wrong — reconcile it first.
