Editing an inventory adjustment in QB Premier

We use inventory "Quantity and Total Value" adjustments to move inventory from one warehouse to another. However, I can not find a way to edit these entries when necessary.  If I go back into one of these entries it pops up as Adjustment type "Total Value" even though that is not how the entry was post.  If I change it back to "Quantity and Total Value" all the quantities are zero! Now I'm really in a pickle, I have not changed the entry but QB has!

 

Any time this happens I am forced to delete the entry and create a new entry.  This is problematic as some of the entries are quite long and tedious. Am I missing something?

Editing an inventory adjustment in QB Premier

Hi there, HBS2288.  

 

QuickBooks inventory management feature in your QuickBooks accounting software, which will let you track and manage the inventory items. Inventory is nothing but the stock of the items that you are going to sell through your business, or want to use for manufacturing of the goods to be sold.   

 

The QuickBooks user has the flexibility not only to delete the inventory adjustment in QuickBooks, but also you can edit it if there is a requirement. You have to search the Inventory Adjustment. Once the Inventory Adjustment is located, you can easily view options to Edit or Delete options. If you need to edit, you have to click on the Edit option and do the editing as per your requirements.   

 

 For the detailed instructions, check out this article: Edit Or Delete An Inventory Quantity Adjustment

  2. Click on the Account dropdown, then New.
  3. From the Other Account Types dropdown, hit Cost of Goods Sold.
