How to adjust stock for a particular inventory item?
Stock Adjustment: Overview
Changes in inventory levels don’t always come from sales. Sometimes, it’s necessary to modify inventory levels to reflect changes in your actual inventory count that might not be in your records. Inventory adjustments are increases or decreases made in inventory to account for theft, loss, breakages, and errors in the amount or number of items received.
Why should I do Inventory Adjustments ?
Inventory fluctuations can cause chaos on more than just your stockroom. When recorded inventory levels are lower than actual inventory counts, the cost of goods sold rises artificially. Conversely, when actual inventory levels are lower than those recorded, the inverse occurs, and COGS is artificially lowered.
In both cases, the adjusting entries necessary to reflect the true state of business can have a significant impact on your gross and net profits, your income statements, and as a result your company’s competitive advantage, financial agility, and overall health. Decision making, reporting, auditing, and budgeting can all be twisted to disastrous levels if your team is operating with incomplete or inaccurate information.
As a result, inventory adjustments are absolutely crucial for responsible and doable accounting practices.
