Stock Adjustments

From time to time you may need to adjust your stock balances for returned goods etc. Entering and approving Credit Notes should not usually update stock levels because of the difficulty of obtaining a FIFO valuation. Instead, you should return the goods to stock using a Goods Receipt. Take care to enter the correct cost prices, in agreement with the stock valuation method you have selected: first you will probably need to find out the true value of the Item from flip C of the original Invoice (if there is no related Sales Order) or from the Delivery record using a report such as the Stock Out Journal or Item History (or by opening the related Nominal Ledger Transaction). The stock valuation in the Nominal Ledger will be updated from the Goods Receipt if you are using FirstOffice's cost accounting facilities.

The entering of Credit Notes is described here, while cost accounting is described here.
