Negative adjustment for a purchase entry

A weird transaction was posted when I posted a purchase order. A negative adjustment with the purchase receipt document type. Does anyone know why this was posted at the point of posting the purchase orders?

    Hi,

    Negative adjustment entry type is used to post inventory losses or used to issue inventory for internal use.

    It is strange that negative adjustment entry is created on posting of PO. Looks like this is some customization.

    Can you check

    I found the reason. The purchase order has been posted to a job task. The user has selected a job task in the purchase line. Hence, the item was consumed to the job.

    Entry

    Dr inventory adjustment account

    Cr Inventory account.
