# Inventory Adjustment & Multi-Adjustments

## Understanding Inventory Adjustment

### What is Inventory Adjustment?

This is how users relay changes to items quantities, locations and statuses to ensure accurate, real time visibility across the system.

There are typically three commonly used Adjustment Types within Canary7.

**Adjustment:** Changing the quantity of inventory. Inventory can be be added or subtracted.

**Status Change**: Allows users to change the status of Inventory. For example, inventory status can be changed from **Available** to **Held**, order to prevent this stock being allocated. A commonly used Status Change seen within Canary7 is inventory being changed from **Available** to **Quality Control** in order to delineate which stock is required for Quality Control purposes and therefore cannot be allocated.

**Transfer:** Used moving items from one location to a different location.

**User to Location Transfer:** Allows the transfer of Inventory that is currently sitting with a **User** back to an Inventory Location.

### Accessing Inventory Adjustment

Within the Navigation menu, click on the search bar, type ''Inventory Adjustment'' and click on "Inventory Adjustment". Inventory Adjustment is also in Inventory > Inventory Adjustment.

The most optimal way to utilise inventory adjustment is directly from **Inventory Enquiry**. This allows users the ability to preform **Multi-Adjustments** by selecting multiple items, clicking the ellipsis menu and selecting Multi-Adjustment as demonstrated below:

You will then have the ability to adjust the quantity, status or location of each item that has been selected, depending on the desired adjustment type.
