                     How to make, edit, 
and delete 
inventory 
adjustments in 
QuickBooks?
The QuickBooks accounting software comes with an 
inventory management feature that allows you to track and 
maintain your inventory. In simple terms, an inventory is 
nothing but just a list of items that you wish to sell for your 
business or to use for the manufacturing of the products 
you want to sell in the future.
QuickBooks Inventory includes exclusive details in form of 
checklists, statements, registers, and directories. It also 
helps in operating and maintaining business demands for 
inventories as well as in the purchase and sales decisions 
as well as other analyses. And, last but not the least, it 
saves time and costs that would otherwise be required in 
manual management of such inventories. 
That being said, there are certain times that 
you, as the company owner or the company 
accountant, may wish to make some 
adjustments or edit the inventory. Most of the 
time this happens when there is an error in the 
inventory balance as reflected by the 
QuickBooks software. In some cases, you may 
even want to delete an inventory adjustment 
entry.

Inventory adjustment entry, edit an existing entry, and
