Inventory Adjustment
The inventory adjustment transaction changes the quantity and value of an inventory item without entering a purchase order. For example, this transaction can be used to account for clerical errors, changes in cost, thefts, or miscounts. If you use the LIFO or FIFO costing methods, this transaction preserves the quantity and value of an inventory item and preserves the costing history of the item.
You should not delete or change inventory transactions dated prior to an inventory distribution, as this can cause difficulties maintaining accurate inventory data.
For more details about this type of transaction, see Inventory Adjustments.
The inventory adjustment record is defined in the tranInvt (inventory) XSD.

Usage Notes
Accessing Serial/Lot or Bin Data for Line Items
As of the 2011.2 endpoint, code to access serial number, lot number, and bin number data varies according to whether the Advanced Bin Management / Numbered Inventory Management feature is enabled.
-
If this feature is enabled, you must use the 2011.2 endpoint or later to access the Inventory Detail subrecord and the most up-to-date bin and numbered inventory fields. You need to update any SOAP web services code from a previous endpoint that accesses these fields, to avoid errors or unexpected results.
-
If this feature is not enabled, you do not need to use the Inventory Detail record to access bin and numbered inventory fields and you do not need to update any related SOAP web services code from prior to 2011.2.
For more details, see Updating SOAP Web Services Code When Advanced Bin / Numbered Inventory Management is Enabled.
