Configuring a Store Inventory Adjustment Reasons

An inventory adjustment is associated with a reason. The Inventory Adjustment Reason allows tracking and reporting of all adjustments at a reason code level. Inventory adjustment reason codes provide granularity for reporting and tracking of store performance.

The pre-defined reason codes such as 'RECEIPT', 'SHIP', 'PACK' are used for certain operations. These codes are mandatory for a store.

The 'RECEIPT' reason code is used for recording receipt of inventory for an inbound shipment (including returns).The 'PACK' reason code is used whenever you add product to an outbound container, which may happen during picking or packing process. The inventory being packed is moved into a virtual location called as the Accounting Bin. This location association is mandatory for this reason code. During the shipping process, inventory is decremented from this bin location. The bin location associated with ‘PACK' reason code should not have Track Pallet or Track Case functionalities enabled. The 'SHIP' reason code is used for recording shipping of inventory for an outbound shipment.

The code used is interfaced with external systems including financials and data warehousing systems.
