How to Adjust Inventory on the Item Locations Report

The Item Locations Report lets you adjust inventory counts directly from the report, whether the units are loose on a shelf or stored inside a License Plate Number (LPN). Use this to make manually adjustments from the dashboard.

Before You Begin

  • Required User Role Permissions: To adjust inventory from the Item Locations Report, you need the following user permissions enabled:
    • Reports: View/Edit
    • Products: View/Edit
    • License Plate Numbers: View/Edit (LPNs must also be enabled at the account level)

For help finding the SKU and location row you want to adjust, see Overview: Item Locations Report, which covers the report's search and filter options.
