One-line answer: A Stock Adjustment adds quantity to
an item without a supplier document, which is the right tool for opening
stock when you start with Vatrix, or for correcting a count after a
stock take. It works in the Retail, Retail 2nd Edition, Weigh Scale,
Restaurant, Laundry and ERP editions.
Before you start
- Inventory Control must be on in Admin →
Settings. - The items must exist in Master → Item Master with a
cost price, so stock value is correct. - If the goods came from a supplier with an invoice, use a GRN instead
so the supplier account and VAT are recorded.
Steps
- Open Inventory → Stock Adjustment. The Stock
Adjustment screen opens with a new DOC No, today’s
Date and the Location. - In Adjust Type, choose the option that adds stock
(quantity in).

- Check the Location. Stock is added to this location
only. - In the grid, scan or type the Item Code. The
Description and UOM fill in. Enter the
Qty to add. Press Enter for the next item.

- Type the reason in Remarks, for example “opening
stock 1 Sep” or “stock count correction”. - Check Total Items and Total
Qty. - Click Save, then Approve. Stock
quantities are updated when the document is approved.

- Click Print if you want a paper record.
Check it worked
Open Reports → Stock Report, select the item and
click Generate Report. Current Stock
should show the new quantity. Reports → Stock Adjustment
Report lists the document.
Common problems
- Stock did not change → the document is saved but
not approved. Open SAVED DOC, select it and click
Approve. - Item Code not found → click Create Item
Code on the screen to add it, then continue. - Stock added to wrong branch → the
Location was left on the default. Remove the quantity
with another adjustment and add it at the correct location.
