Print Inventory & Make Adjustments
Inventory adjustments can be made using a few different options. If you have pending inventory orders with a Placed status that you want included, they need to be Received into inventory first.

We recommend you print an Inventory Listing of your current on-hand amounts or an Inventory worksheet that includes all retail items in the product list to compare with your actual inventory amounts before proceeding with the options under Step 2 below.
Step 2: Make Inventory Adjustments
Option 1 is best if you'd like to re-enter your correct On Hand amounts from the product list, whether minor adjustments need to be made or a lot.
Important: The wholesale amount is calculated from the default Discount percentage saved in the Inventory Orders Settings. Please make sure that your discount is set before following the steps below.

- Click in the On Hand field to adjust the quantity. Use your arrow keys to navigate vertically or the tab key to navigate horizontally to the Ideal field.
Tip: Click then select Filter to filter the list, or search for items using the Search field or Advanced Search link. To remove any filters set, click then select Clear Filter.

Additional Information:
Important Note: It is crucial to run this report as close to the year-end as possible before any inventory orders or invoices are entered for the new tax year. This report can only capture your current inventory value when the report is run. If any sales or product orders for the next tax year have been entered before printing the Inventory Listing by Category report, run the Estimated Inventory Value report instead (found under the Inventory section).
