Inventory adjustments
Inventory adjustments are made when the amount of inventory in the fulfillment center is not the same as the amount of inventory recorded in the WebSphere Commerce Accelerator. This could happen for a number of reasons. For example, if products in a fulfillment center are stolen or damaged, the amount of inventory available must be adjusted to reflect that situation. If a count is taken in a fulfillment center and there are more products than previously thought, this too must be recorded. WebSphere Commerce provides a sample set of inventory adjustment codes that define reasons for the inventory adjustment. You can also add, change, or delete inventory adjustment codes.

- Ad hoc inventory receipts
Ad hoc inventory receipts are created when inventory arrives at a fulfillment center without a corresponding expected inventory record. This could be due to an unexpected inventory arrival, or it could be the choice of the merchant or seller not to use expected inventory records to record inventory receipts. Products must exist in the WebSphere Commerce system in order to be received, whether the inventory receipt is expected or ad hoc.
- Adjust inventory quantity
Use the WebSphere Commerce Accelerator to adjust inventory quantity for items, products, SKUs, bundles, and prebuilt kits. Do not use the Adjust Quantity dialog to receive inventory. If the inventory has an associated expected inventory record, use the Expected Inventory list to receive it. otherwise, use the Ad Hoc Receipt dialog.
