Adjustment Transaction Record View
The Inventory Adjustment Transaction Record View allows users to adjust inventory quantities. This transaction allows multiple items from a single site to be adjusted on a single transaction and each item's inventory balance can either be increased or decreased. Because Adjustments are used to correct balances, some business rules that exist for other transactions are not enforced. These include fixed/variable weight ratios and requiring whole units. The 'Include open Adjustment transactions in Available balances' preference will determine whether Available balances are updated before the transaction is posted. Once the transaction is posted, it will update the On Hand lot balance of the item(s).

Adjustment #: [Transaction ID] | |
Fields | Description |
---|---|
Corrected From | Displays the Transaction ID of the source transaction the correction is being made from. This is a text box that defaults to the source transaction. This field is not visible unless the transaction is the result of a correction. It is only required on transactions that are being corrected. This field is auto populated by the system and is not editable. Transaction numbers are system assigned IDs to differentiate unique transactions. Transaction ID's are unique by the unique combination of 'Transaction Type' + 'Transaction Class'. Database Fields: ERPx_IMTransactionHeader.TransactionID, ERPx_IMTransactionHeader.CorrectedFromTransactionHeaderSK |

Status | Identifies the Status of the transaction. This is a single-select standard lookup that defaults as 'New' and is required. This is always editable while the transaction is in a Status of 'New' or 'Approved'. Status is used to identify where a transaction, Purchase Order, Price List, BOM, or Master File record is in its life cycle. Records start in a Status of 'New' and progress sequentially through additional statuses until they are 'Posted' or 'Closed'. The list of potential Statuses changes depending on the transaction type. The Statuses that apply to transactions in this List View include: New: This is the default Status for all new Transactions. While in the Status of 'New' transactions are considered open and all editable fields are open for edit, no posting or approval validations are performed, GL Dates are not assigned, and journal entries are not created. If the transaction was moved back from Approved to New, the GL Date will be assigned and a Journal Entry will exist. Approved: Performs all the data validations required to post the transaction and applies to all Transactions. While in the Status of 'Approved' transactions are considered open but have limited fields open for edit. If one or more validations fail, messages are provided indicating what needs to be corrected. If all the validations pass, then all the fields are disabled except for the Status lookup (and any fields that are always editable), journal entries are created/updated, journal ID's are assigned to the journal entry, and blank 'GL Dates' are assigned. Ready to Post: Runs the Approval validations and applies to all transactions. While in the Status of 'Ready to Post' transactions are considered closed and all the fields are disabled with the exception of a few fields that are always editable. If one or more validations fail, messages are provided indicating what needs to be corrected. If all the validations pass, then all the fields are disabled with the exception any fields that are always editable and updates the Transaction Status to "Posted".

This field is always editable while the transaction is in a Status of 'New'. If set to "Not Allowed" and the transaction would result in an inventory lot with a negative available balance, the message "Lot balances would be negative when set to Not Allowed" will be displayed on Save. This lookup contains the values in the IMAllowNegativeAvailableBalances Enumeration Class. If Sales Order allocation preferences are set to either “Available Only” or “Available and On Hand” and a Sales order has been allocated prior to a user updating the Inventory “Negative Available Balances” property, it is possible to draw the lots negative. A message will be displayed to the user if lot balances are negative and a new transaction is created which would impact those balances positively, however the overall balances would still be negative. For example, if the lot balance is -10 Cases and an Adjustment transaction adds 5 Cases, the overall lot balance would still be negative. The following options are possible workarounds:
Database Field: ERPx_IMTransactionHeader.NegativeBalancesEN |

The transaction will validate the Warehouse Lot based on the following:
A Warehouse Lot (aka Storage Lot) is used by 3rd party distribution sites to identify a unique quantity of product they are storing.
