Select Print Active Group to preview a report for the current group of transactions. Select Select Adjustment to Print to display and select from a list of all quantity adjustment transactions that have been posted. Select the ones for which you want to generate a report.

Fields

Field	Description
Transaction Number	This field displays the next inventory transaction number.
Date	This field displays today's date. To change the date, enter a date or click and select a date.
Performed By	This field displays the employee name of the Vantagepoint login user who started the Inventory application for this browser session. Click to select a different employee name.
Comment	Enter comments or notes in this field. The header of the Quantity Adjustments report displays the contents of this field.
Diary	This field displays only if you have set up a diary for the fiscal period or fiscal year in which you are entering transactions in the Diary Auto Numbering Options section of the Transaction Settings form in Settings > Accounting > Transactions. Use this field to select a diary code for the current transaction or for the group of transactions, if you are processing a group of transactions. 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 Options section in Transactions Settings that either have the same fiscal period or fiscal year for which you are entering transactions or that have no fiscal period or year entered for them. If you have multiple companies in Vantagepoint, the Diary field 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.
