Lightspeed X Series | Stock adjustment

Stock adjustments in Lightspeed X Series help you keep your inventory accurate when there are discrepancies. These discrepancies can arise from reasons like damaged goods, lost stock, theft, or manual corrections after a stocktake.
By recording a stock adjustment, you ensure that your system reflects the real stock available, which in turn keeps your sales, reporting, and reordering accurate.

Why Use Stock Adjustment?

  • To correct stock levels after finding errors in counts.

  • To account for damaged, expired, or lost products.

  • To reconcile differences found during audits or inventory checks.

  • To keep sales and reporting data reliable.


Things to Keep in Mind

  • Adjustments directly affect your stock and reports, so double-check entries before saving.

  • Use meaningful reasons/notes so you can track adjustments later.

  • If large discrepancies occur frequently, consider reviewing your inventory process or performing a stocktake.
