What does the "Adjust inventory" functionality do?

The "Adjust inventory" functionality is designed to enable administrators to make modifications to inventory levels based on previously recorded stock totals. This is crucial for maintaining accurate inventory records, as it provides a historical context for the adjustments, ensuring that any changes reflect the actual state of the inventory. By referencing past totals, it helps in reconciling discrepancies and enables more precise inventory management.

This functionality is particularly useful in scenarios where stock levels need to be updated due to reasons such as stock loss, damage, or updates in inventory management policies. It allows businesses to keep their inventory data accurate and reliable, which is essential for operational efficiency and decision-making processes.

In contrast, removing outdated items or increasing stock without any reference to prior totals does not provide the necessary accountability and accuracy in inventory management. Similarly, generating a report does not involve making adjustments but rather offers a snapshot of current inventory without altering the stock levels.
