      <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 LN and the inventory as specified by the inventory
		adjustment order.</Paragraph>

         <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>
         <Paragraph>Use the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh/inh/whinh5271m000" role="session">Remove Processed Adjustment Order Lines (whinh5271m000)</GUIRef> session to file manually
		  created processed adjustment orders in the adjustment order and adjustment
