Stock adjustments causing inventory value reconciliation to be out of balance

Hi nhill , your question relates to the use of AccountRight, which is NOT financial advice.

When you record an entry on the adjustment transaction, what account number do you enter? If you enter the inventory asset account, that will cause ever-increasing out-of-balances, because the adjusting journal that is created will debit/credit the same account. The account number should be somewhere in your cost of sales, eg an inventory adjustment account. AccountRIght will automatically post the other side of that entry to the asset account.
