WHERE TO GO
Items → selected item; Inventory → Item Ledger
Step by step
Open Item Ledger and identify the current quantity and its source movements.
Check opening stock, purchases, sales and claim replacement/recovery activity.
If a source document is wrong, correct that source using its normal edit or reversal workflow.
Recheck the ledger after the correction.
If the difference is a physical count adjustment with no incorrect source document, keep the count details for support rather than entering a fake transaction.
What to check
- You identify whether the difference can be corrected through an existing source document.
Current limitation
- Known limitation: the reviewed Adjust Item stock field does not create a stock movement or update opening quantity.
- Changing a purchase price or posting a general journal does not fix quantity.
- Do not create fictional purchases or sales to force the number to match.
