Hi stevelawley4659

If you have manually adjusted the stock quantity then as previously posted the stock shrinkage account is the default account that is used for increases and decreases in the product.

However, also stated by Rustler, another way to increase your stock, if indeed you are purchasing it from a supplier is by using an expense or bill, the stock quantity will be adjusted automatically, the manual adjustment is usually used for stock that can't be accounted for.

It's good to see you here in the Community, stevelawley4659. I'd be happy to answer your post about stock adjustment.

Yes, you're correct that the adjusted stock will be posted to stock shrinkage since this is the default account used.

To answer your question, no it is not correct. as you stated you do not adjust inventory to increase stockage.

bring up the adjustment transaction and delete it. With it on screen, use the more menu/link at the bottom and delete

then enter the purchase of inventory items using the item detail part of the expense or bill form, that is how you increase stock
