enter an adjustment within that count date & time, it

will still be reflected properly on your AvT.

Do not enter a count adjustment and a

price adjustment on the same entry or
the price will not take effect.
3. Enter your desired adjustment:
● Price Adjustment: Enter the correct price for the selected item in the “Cost” field. Ensure you are
entering the cost for the correct unit of measure. You can select your desired unit of measure from the
options available in the drop down menu.

Ensure you enter a 0 under the “Quantity” field in order for the price to take effect.

● Count Adjustment: This would be done if an opening inventory count error was identified after “Posting”
your inventory count. Enter the “adjustment” (not your new count quantity) to the count required in the
“Quantity” field. In the example below, we are telling the system to “add 5” to my original incorrect
count. If you need to adjust your quantity down, you would enter a negative number.

Please note that backdating an adjustment is not intended to correct an ending inventory value for
a count you’ve just completed. It is intended to adjust an opening inventory count error that was
identified after “Posting” your inventory count as mentioned above.
