Adjust Stock Feature: Quick Fixes for Accurate Inventory

Adjust Stock in DizLog lets you quickly update item quantities for one-off changes like damaged, lost, spoiled, or received stock.

Updated over 2 months ago

The Adjust Stock feature in DizLog allows you to correct stock levels instantly when discrepancies occur. Unlike Inventory Count, which is designed for planned full or partial stock takes, Adjust Stock is best for one-off corrections — such as damaged, lost, spoiled, or manually received items.

This feature helps maintain accurate records, prevents reporting errors, and provides a clear audit trail for each adjustment.

2. Accessing Adjust Stock

👉 From the Dashboard, navigate to Inventory Management → Adjust Stock.


3. Filtering and Finding Products

  • Select Location (branch or warehouse).

  • Choose Product Type (Products or Raw Materials).

  • Use Search to find items by name, SKU, or barcode.


4. Making Adjustments

You can update stock for several reasons:

  • Received → New stock received without a purchase order.

  • Consumed → Items used internally.

  • Damaged → Broken/unusable items.

  • Lost → Missing due to theft, misplacement, or errors.

  • Spoiled → Expired or spoiled goods.


5. Saving Changes

👉 After entering adjustments, click Save.

  • The system updates New Stock immediately.

  • Both Current Stock and New Stock align after saving.


6. Multiple Items Adjustment

You can adjust multiple rows of products in one save for efficiency.


7. Adjusting Raw Materials

  • Select Raw Materials as Product Type.

  • Enter quantity in Received.

  • If conversion values are set, DizLog automatically applies them (e.g., 1 bag of beans = 1,000 grams).


8. Best Practices

  • Always select the correct reason (Damaged, Lost, Spoiled, etc.).

  • Save frequently when adjusting multiple items.

  • Use Adjust Stock immediately after discovering discrepancies.

  • Review Inventory History to track adjustments and spot trends.


Final Thoughts

The Adjust Stock feature in DizLog is your tool for quick corrections, while Inventory Count is for structured audits. Together, they keep your inventory accurate, transparent, and audit-ready.
