Inventory Quantity Reconciliation
Usually at year end a physical inventory is performed and then reconciled with SME. Any adjustments required should be understood, however SME provides an inventory reconcile tool.
- NOTE* If you are tracking inventory quantities in QuickBooks, any adjustments made to SME inventory using reconciliation will also need to be made in QuickBooks inventory. Only invoices from SME automatically deplete inventory in QuickBooks. Only POs or Bills from SME automatically increase inventory in QuickBooks.
To adjust inventory quantities in SME based on your physical count:
1. Go to Inventory module and select the item you need to adjust.
2. Copy the Item Number.
NOTE – If your Item Names are unique, you can use that and substitute Name for Number for the remainder of the procedure.
