Adjusting quantities

Posted on by Microsoft Employee

I just entered inventory adjustments (variance adjustments in GP) for end of year inventory counts. I have a few questions concerning some of the results.

1. In many items I have quantities allocated when I should not have any, and my quantities available do not match what I entered in the variance adjustment. Having said this I have verified open orders and they are not enough to explain why my allocated quantities are so far off what they should be and why my quantities available are so far off.

How can I just force the allocated quantities and quantities on hand to match exactly what I have. I have already reconciled the inventory items.

    Hi Lyn

    I figured out what the problem was. The allocated amounts came from variance transactions that were created but never posted. So eliminating the variance transactions eliminated the errors and reset the values to what they should be.  Thank You

    Hi Lyn

    I performed a reconcile. It did not make a single adjustment for sales docs and made a few minor adjustments regarding tax amounts for purchasing. I however still have items with allocated amounts with no sales orders or purchase orders associated with them. So once again how do I reset these amounts to zero.

    I recommend you reconcile Sales Order Processing, Purchase Order Process, and then Inventory, in that order. You will need all users to exit from sales transaction entry windows, prior to reconciling.

    SOP:  Go to Microsoft Dynamics GP >> Tools >> Utilities >> Sales >> Reconcile-Remove Sales Documents.

    POP:  Go to Microsoft Dynamics GP >> Tools >> Utilities >> Purchasing >> Reconcile Purchasing Documents.

    IV:  Go to Microsoft Dynamics GP >> Tools >> Utilities >> Inventory >> Reconcile.

    Transactions in SOP & POP affect inventory allocations & quantities in inventory, so if merely running the inventory reconcile did not correct the issue, you may need to run the additional utilities.
