About stock adjustments

Adding Stock: We use the cost price entered on the adjustment to calculate the adjustment's value.

Removing Stock: We use the cost price on the stock record multiplied by the adjustment quantity to calculate the adjustment's value.

To edit an adjustment for an inactive stock item, make the item Active first.
