Making Negative Adjustments to Inventory Value

Sometimes, you must make a negative adjustment to the value (but not the quantity) of one or more items.

To Make Negative Adjustments to Inventory Value:

  1. Open the Item Journal window.

  2. Fill in the first journal line by decreasing the quantity on inventory with a negative adjustment. Use a unit cost that corresponds to the actual posted cost. For Help about a specific field, click the field and press F1.

  3. Make a positive adjustment of the same quantity, setting the unit cost at the new, correct value.

Note

You can find the actual cost on a ledger entry list for an item. If you set the filter Open = Yes, only the entries that are used to calculate the inventory value are shown. You can also see the cost in the Inventory Valuation report (under Inventory, Item Reports).
