Adjustments
This module allows to adjust your inventory in order to match the theoretical quantity with the real quantity in stock. Any difference will be recorded as an inventory variance and will be differentiated from a lost. A variance is missing stock that you do not know the origin instead of a lost, which has a known origin. The Maitre'D software offers you many different ways to adjust your inventory: you can make adjustment for now, for this morning, for the current or last week, for the current or last period, for the current or last month. These options allow you for example, to enter a physical inventory taken at the end of the last month, or on any day of the current month. You also have the possibility to use this function in conjunction with an inventory worksheet that has previously printed using the report generator. When you are entering the adjustments, the system will show you the theoretical quantity in stock for each item requested according to the period requested.
Select the period for the adjustment.
NOTE: Depending of the options selected in View / Options / Adjustment branch, some of these period might not be available to you
