Edit an inventory quantity adjustment

This feature is available only for companies that track inventory in QuickBooks Plus.

If you created an inventory quantity adjustment but need to change something, just edit the transaction.

1. Click Create (+) > Inventory Qty Adjustment.

2. At the top left, click the Recent Transactions icon.
3. If you see the inventory quantity adjustment in the list, click it. If you don't see it:
1. Click More.
2. If necessary, click the Date Filter drop-down arrow and change the date range.
3. Click the transaction you want to edit.
4. If necessary, change the adjustment date.
5. If necessary, click the Inventory adjustment account drop-down arrow and select a different account. We set up one for you already, but you can change it if you want to.
6. If you want to include additional inventory items in the adjustment, add them in the New adjustments table:
1. In the first available row, click the Product field.
2. Click the drop-down arrow and select an item.
3. Enter either a new quantity or a change in quantity.

For example, the Qty on Hand column shows that you have 10 widgets, but you discover that 2 widgets are missing. You can adjust the quantity either by entering 8 in the New Qty column or by entering -2 (negative 2) in the Change in Qty column.

4. If you need to add more inventory items, repeat steps a to c for each item.
7. If you need to make changes to items in the previous adjustment, do so in the Previous adjustments table:
• To change an item's quantity, enter the new quantity in the Change in Qty column.
• To remove an item, click its Delete icon.
8. (Optional) Do your future self (and your accountant) a favor by entering a reminder in the Memo field about why you edited this adjustment.
9. Click Save and close.
