Adjust On Hand
The Adjust On Hand option in the main menu is used in situations where there is currently none of the required item on hand, so inventory needs to be added into stock, or when previously misplaced or lost inventory needs to be added back into stock. When performing adjustments from the main menu, users will need to specify the Facility, Location, and in some cases the lot for the material to be adjusted.
Users may also perform inventory adjustments from within various inventory reports such as the Lot or Locations reports. The advantages of performing adjustments on these reports is that specific lots and locations will already have been selected on the adjustment form which means less information will need to be entered and the potential for mistakes can be reduced.
When performing an adjustment, anytime there is a difference in item attributes, cost, or location, Deacom will create a new system lot to go with the chosen user lot. It is important to be careful when adjusting that you understand this concept. In certain situations it may cause an undesired result. For example – in a situation where you wish to make an adjustment for the sole purpose of changing the lot value – then care must be taken not to change the location or attribute fields otherwise a new system lot will be created.
Additional items to consider when adjusting inventory include:
- Security - The security setting "Inventory — adjust on hand" controls the ability to adjust inventory in or out both from the main menu and when using the "Adjust On Hand" button in the Inventory reports. For WMS, the security setting "WMS -- adjust on hand" is required.
- Serialization - If an item is marked as "Unit Serialization" or "Container Serialization" on the Properties tab of its' Item Master, users will be required to verify or specify a serial number or container number when adjusting.
- Location and Location Type defaults - When adjusting in inventory, the following records/preferences are checked when populating the default location and location type on the adjust inventory form.
- Facility override on the Item Master.
- Item Master default location, if that location belongs to the facility on the job.
- If the Item Master location does not belong to the Job's Facility, pull in that facility's default Location/Location Type, if any.
- Otherwise blank.
- The Item Master > Properties tab contains a "Require Expiration Date" flag. If checked, the system will prevent inventory adjustments, production, or receipts if the selected part's Expiration Date is blank. If this occurs, the user will be prompted with the following message: "This item requires an expiration date".
- When adjusting in inventory for an existing lot, the system keeps the Expiration Date.
- The "Adjust On Hand" button in inventory reports is disabled when the "Display" combobox on the Inventory Reporting pre-filter is set to "All" or "Inactive".
- Users have the ability to Group By container number when generating physical inventory worksheets.
