Adjusting inventory using in an extension

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Hedi Daneels 487

Hi Everyone,

Is there any information for business central (or microsoft nav) on how to properly adjust inventory of an item using code?

I found an adjust inventory codeunit, but it is not clear how/if it should be used.

Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Regards

    Inside the D365BC application, when you calculate the inventory for an item you have the calculated quantity (calculated from the system) and the real quantity (manual field inserted by the end user accordingly to what he checks into the warehouse). When those 2 fields are different and you post the record, D365BC creates the positive/negative adjustement for you.

    If instead you want to create adjustements from the outside, recommended way is to create a codeunit that writes into the Item Journal Line table and then perform the posting.

    For example, if for Item X you have inventory = N and instead you want to have N-1, just create a negative adjustement of 1 into Item Journal Line (for the item and the location) and post it.

    Hi,

    Do you have any information on how to do that? I saw the item journal table, but are there procedures to post?

    You need to fill an Item journal Batch (like page Item Journal, ID 40) and then run Item Jnl.-Post codeunit.

    I suggest to open page 40 and check the code under the Post action.
