Stock adjustments
A stock adjustment manually corrects the quantity of a product in your inventory. Use it when a physical count reveals a discrepancy, when goods are damaged or lost, or when you need to add opening stock to a new product location.
How to make a stock adjustment
- Go to Inventory → Adjustments
- Click + Add adjustment
- Select the warehouse where the adjustment is being made
- Select the date
- Add the products being adjusted — for each product, enter the adjusted quantity (positive to add, the system will handle the direction based on the adjustment type)
- Select the adjustment type: Addition or Subtraction
- Add a note explaining the reason — damage, recount, opening stock, theft, spoilage
- Click Save
The adjustment is logged with the date, user, and reason. Your inventory quantity updates immediately.
Expiry dates
When creating or editing a product, the Expiry date field lets you record when the product expires. For perishable goods — food products, pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals — entering an expiry date enables AADOPS to track and alert you as the date approaches.
Stock alert (reorder point)
The Stock alert field on the product form sets the quantity at which you receive a low stock notification. When your stock falls to or below this number, the product appears in your stock alert widget on the dashboard and in the low stock report.
