Adjust stocks using inventory adjustments

Zenoti inventory allows you to manage stock damages, shrinkage, and spoilage by allowing you to adjust stock instantly to account for any damages, vendor frauds, free samples, or expired stock.

Note

All inventory adjustments are captured in a log and displayed in product transaction history and adjustments history.

Inventory adjustments are of two types:

  • Manual adjustments: You can create adjustments manually in case of damages, shrinkage, and spoilage.

  • Auto adjustments: Enable you to track fraudulent activities by viewing all audits for products that were reconciled. When audit reconciliations are performed with a difference in stock between the system values and audited values, auto adjustments are created and displayed in the adjustments report.

Important

Contact your administrator to set up the permissions for inventory adjustments.

    The following table describes the columns you see and actions you can perform:

    Name

    Description

    Date

    Date on which the adjustment was created

    Product

    Name of the product for which the stock was adjusted

    Adjusted quantity by store (+/-)

    Quantity adjusted by the store

    Note

    If your business does not operate in the store and floor model, this is displayed as just adjusted quantity.

    Adjusted quantity by store

    Quantity adjusted on the floor.

    Quantity (+): The number of units added to inventory. 

    Quantity (−): The number of units removed from inventory.

    Note

    Value per unit

    Sale price of the product

    Note

    Only non-zero perpetual average values are considered. When you finish selling the products from the last PO, for products added without a PO/TO, the last non-zero value is considered. For example, your last PO had 3 products with a value of $10. After the sale of these products, instead of a zero perpetual value, all new products will have a value of $10.

    For both manual and auto adjustments, the previous non-zero value and the current value of zero are available for selection. For all adjustments created after Feb 2023, the previous non-zero value is assigned by default. However, you can edit this value.

    Transaction cost (+/-)

    Total cost of the adjustment = Adjust Store Quantity by x Value Per Unit

    (Cost (+): The total cost of the quantity added (Quantity (+) × Value per Unit).

    Cost (−): The total cost of the quantity deducted (Quantity (−) × Value per Unit).
