Quantity Adjustments Form

Use the Quantity Adjustments form to make and post a journal entry transaction that adjusts an inventory item's quantity in your general ledger. You can enter the quantity of an item before it is marked as an inventory item, or vice versa.

This form also serves as a history loading utility, to enter a record of your inventory items. Vision uses this data to calculate each item's initial Average Actual Cost as New Unit Cost/New Quantity on Hand.

Select the Skip GL option on the Items Grid of this form to prevent Vision from creating and posting a journal entry transaction for this quantity adjustment.

Location

To display the form, complete the following steps:

  1. From the Vision Navigation menu, click Inventory > Transactions > Quantity Adjustments.

Diary

This field displays only if you have set up a diary in Accounting System Settings Configuration for the fiscal period or fiscal year in which you are entering transactions.

Use this field to select a diary code for the current transaction or the group of transactions if you are processing a group of transactions, such as an accounts payable payment processing run. The diaries are used to generate diary reports that contain a set of sequentially numbered transactions that have been posted to the general ledger during the fiscal year or to specific fiscal periods. You can assign different diaries (that have different diary types) to different types of transactions.

The Diary drop-down list contains three columns. The first column displays the diary code. The second and third columns display the diary type for the diary code and the description of the diary type.

The drop-down list contains all the diaries that you set up on the Diary Auto Numbering tab in Configuration > Accounting > System Settings that have the same fiscal period or fiscal year in which you are entering transactions, or no fiscal period or year entered for them.

If you have multiple companies, the Diary drop-down list includes only the diary codes that are set up for the current company. The list also includes IC - Intercompany Diary to capture intercompany transactions.

You cannot delete a transaction after it has been saved with a diary number. If a transaction is incorrect, you can enter zero amounts for the transaction, or enter a reversing transaction.
