Introduction

This topic covers the use of the serialized inventory item adjustment form. There is another topic that covers adjustments for non-serialized items called Inventory Item Adjustment (non-serialized).

Usage

Use this form to adjust the quantity on hand (how many you have in stock), locations of the item (what warehouse the item is located in), unit price, and serial number. Typically this form is used after an inventory is taken and the actual number of items in stock don’t match what Total Office Manager is showing, or possibly the item was in the wrong location (warehouse) or had an incorrect serial number.

You cannot add new serialized item to Total Office Manager using this form. If you need to add a serialized item, see the Items – Receive Items form or Items – Receive Items and Enter Bill form.

Form Access

  • From the main menu click Company > Inventory Adjustment > Serialized Items.

Field and Button Definitions

The following definitions are for the field near the top of the form.

Click this button to permanently delete the serialized item from Total Office Manager. You cannot delete any item in Total Office Manager that has history. History means that the item has been used somewhere in the program – perhaps in an invoice or estimate, etc.
Item

Serial Number

The serial number of the serialized item. You may change the serial number, if needed.

Rev. Date
