Physical Inventory Adjustments Use this procedure to record corrections to the on hand quantities. You should be sure that all shipping and receiving has been processed on the computer, as well as physically performed, before recording the latest count here. Note that the quantity entered REPLACES the old On Hand. The update is instant for each item as you click post. The The Phys. Inv. date is updated to today, the quantity counted is updated, and the audit file is updated. A report is printed for each item, with the old and new On Hand and extended values at cost. The net value changed is also printed with totals for the session. If the G/L is used, posting to the G/L is not performed. However if you balance the Inventory Status report total to the Inventory G/L asset account, you should do adjusting Journal Entries to the Inventory and appropriate Cost of Goods accounts based on the net change. Inputting a list of PNs with counts An ascii text file containing Part #'s and counts may be used to update the inventory. This is useful to record Cycle counts of groups of Items. The list is processed the same as if each PN had been keyed and posted from this screen. Note that X-ref PNs are skipped if in this list, but noted in the report. Click on the button, and read the Help for that window for more details.
