Cannot adjust stock when incoming orders exist

Question

Hi,&nbsp;I am trying to assist a company who has just completed a stock take.They cannot perform a stock adjustment on items that have an outstanding incoming order.&nbsp;We have done stock adjustments on all of the items that have no incoming orders but we don't want to have to cancel all incoming orders, perform the adjustment, and then reinstate the orders.&nbsp;Does anyone have a way around this issue?

Hi&nbsp;marcrussell&nbsp;&nbsp;Are you getting an error message - if yes what does it state. If no, why can't you adjust?&nbsp;RegardsGavin

Hi,&nbsp;Ok.. I sat down with the users today and went through the process with them.They are using the count inventory option as (almost) all of the items need adjusting.The count inventory option loads into the Adjust inventory dialog and it is when they try to click to accept the changes that the error comes.We tried the Adjust inventory avenue without the count inventory entry point and it worked for an item with outstanding goods inwards orders.Is there a way to bring the entire inventory into the adjust inventory avenue without going through the count inventory or is it a case of having to manually go through adding each item and then adjusting every 20-30 items?&nbsp;Cheers

Hi&nbsp;marcrussell&nbsp;,
&nbsp;
If you want to use the adjust inventory functionality (without doing a stock take), you need to load the item you want to adjust manually.
&nbsp;
Just double checking, usually, the receive functionality is used when you have a purchase order with the supplier, that has arrived at your warehouse, but you won't turn into a bill yet, as you are waiting for additional costs to be added in. Is that the case? If not, I just turn those transactions into bills, and you can then count stock for all items.
