Stock Adjustments

Stock adjustments correct product quantities for the selected branch. Use them when the real shelf count does not match Dentaltap, or when expired stock should be written off.

Open Inventory → Products, then use the Stock Adjustments panel below the product list. Expand the panel when you need more room.

Create Stock Adjustment

1. Open Inventory → Products.
2. Confirm the selected branch.
3. In the Stock Adjustments panel, click Create Adjustment.
4. Select one or more products.
5. Review the current In-Stock value for each product.
6. Enter the New Stock value, or adjust the quantity change.
7. Add a note explaining why the correction is needed.
8. Click Create Adjustment.

The adjustment records added and removed quantities and recalculates the new stock level for the branch.

Write Off Expired

If Dentaltap detects expired products with remaining stock, the Stock Adjustments panel can show Write Off Expired.

Use this action to create a prepared adjustment for expired products. Review the product list and stock changes before saving. The default note identifies the adjustment as an expired-products write-off.

When to use an adjustment

Use a stock adjustment for:

• physical count corrections;
• damaged or missing stock;
• expired product write-off;
• correction after an order, sale, or transfer was recorded incorrectly and cannot be corrected cleanly in that workflow.

Do not use an adjustment for normal purchasing, issuing, or branch movement. Use Orders, Sales, and Transfers for those workflows.

Adjustment list

The Stock Adjustments panel shows adjustment code, product details, note, date, added/removed quantities, and total value. Open an adjustment to review or edit its product rows.

Update Stock Adjustment

1. Open Inventory → Products.
2. Expand Stock Adjustments if needed.
3. Click an adjustment row, or use the row action menu and choose Edit.
4. Update products, quantity changes, new stock values, date/time, or note as allowed.
5. Click Save Changes.

Be careful editing an adjustment because it changes the stock correction history. If another correction is needed later, creating a new adjustment is often clearer.

Delete Stock Adjustment

1. Open the adjustment row action menu or open the adjustment details.
2. Choose Delete or Delete Adjustment.
3. Confirm the deletion.

Delete an adjustment only when it was created by mistake. If the adjustment reflects a real physical count, keep it and create a new correction if needed.
