Full Guide

Stock adjustments handle situations that don't fit the normal delivery/usage flow:

Scenario	Direction	Example Reason
Material already on-site before tracking started	Add	"Pre-existing stock on site"
Material damaged or lost	Remove	"Damaged — monsoon exposure"
Physical recount doesn't match system	Add or Remove	"Recount correction — physical audit"
Transfer from another project	Add	"Transfer from Tower B project"
Transfer to another project	Remove	"Transferred to Highway project"
Returned to vendor	Remove	"Returned — specification rejected"
Found additional stock	Add	"Located additional stock in Warehouse B"

Field	Required	Description
Material	Yes	Pre-selected if opened from a material's actions menu
Direction	Yes	Stock In (increases stock) or Stock Out (decreases stock)
Quantity	Yes	Amount to add or remove (in the material's unit)
Reason	Yes	Why you're making this adjustment (max 500 chars)

Be Specific

The reason field is mandatory because every stock adjustment needs to be explainable in an audit:

Use the right tool for the situation:

Use Log Usage when	Use Adjust Stock when
Material was consumed during work	Stock changed for non-consumption reasons
You have a specific date and activity	The change is a correction or transfer
The consumption should show in usage reports	The change shouldn't look like consumption

Full Traceability

Every adjustment is recorded in the material's detail page under the Adjustments tab:

Adjustments cannot be edited or deleted after saving.
