	<ConceptSection><Paragraph>You can use inventory adjustments to manually change the inventory registered by SSA ERP at a specific <Link href="/baanerp/wh/glossary/glossary#000382" role="glossary">stockpoint</Link>.

		<List><ListIntro>You can create inventory adjustment orders in one of the following two ways:</ListIntro>
			<ListItem>Enter an inventory adjustment order in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh/inh/whinh5120m000" role="session">Adjustment Orders (whinh5120m000)</GUIRef> session and then enter an adjustment order line in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh/inh/whinh5121m000" role="session">Adjustment Order Lines (whinh5121m000)</GUIRef> session. In the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh/inh/whinh5121m000" role="session">Adjustment Order Lines (whinh5121m000)</GUIRef> session, you can specify the quantity to which the inventory must be adjusted for each stock point.</ListItem>
			<ListItem>Enter an inventory adjustment order (line), without separately creating an inventory adjustment order and inventory adjustment order line, in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh/inh/whinh5202m000" role="session">Easy Adjustment Entry (whinh5202m000)</GUIRef> session.</ListItem>
		</List>
		<Paragraph>You can print inventory adjustment orders with the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh/inh/whinh5221m000" role="session">Process Adjustment Orders (whinh5221m000)</GUIRef> session. The reports printed by this session contain the inventory registered by SSA ERP and the inventory as specified by the inventory adjustment order.</Paragraph>
	</GeneralSection>
	<GeneralSection><Note><SectionTitle>Note</SectionTitle>
			<Paragraph>Inventory adjustment orders can also be automatically generated. The automatically generated inventory adjustment orders are directly processed and, as a result, are only filed in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh/inh/whinh5570m000" role="session">Processed Adjustment Order History (whinh5570m000)</GUIRef> session and the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh/inh/whinh5571m000" role="session">Processed Adjustment Order Line History (whinh5571m000)</GUIRef> session.</Paragraph>

		<List><ListIntro>To effectuate inventory adjustments as specified on an inventory adjustment order line, you must process the inventory adjustment order. You can use the following sessions to process inventory adjustment orders:</ListIntro>
			<ListItemHead><GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh/inh/whinh5201m000" role="session">Process Cycle Counting Orders (whinh5201m000)</GUIRef>

		<List><ListIntro>If you process an inventory adjustment order line:</ListIntro>
			<ListItem>SSA ERP adjusts the system quantities of the stock point according to the quantities specified on the inventory adjustment order line.</ListItem>
			<ListItem>SSA ERP posts the financial transactions if a variance occurs on the inventory adjustment order line. <List><ListIntro>If the variance concerns:</ListIntro>
					<ListItem>A lot, SSA ERP creates a lot transaction for a negative variance in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh/ltc/whltc3500m000" role="session">Item - Lots - Issues (whltc3500m000)</GUIRef> session, and for a positive variance in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh/ltc/whltc3501m000" role="session">Item - Lots - Receipts (whltc3501m000)</GUIRef> session.</ListItem>
					<ListItem>A serialized item in the high volume scenario, SSA ERP creates a serial transaction for a negative variance in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh/ltc/whltc5510m000" role="session">Item - Serials - Issues (whltc5510m000)</GUIRef> session and for a positive variance in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh/ltc/whltc5511m000" role="session">Item - Serials - Receipts (whltc5511m000)</GUIRef> session.</ListItem>
					<ListItem>A serialized item in the high volume scenario, variances are processed in the same way as for anonymous items, because serial numbers in inventory.</ListItem>
