# Stock Adjustment Types
Types allow one to define the ledger account the stock adjustments will update and tag the stock adjustments, which are both stock level and stock value.
If no ledger account is specified, then the default General Ledger Link will be processed.
When the system does an update, this will create a hotfix to add in a system type which all stock adjustments will be allocated to.
The hotfix will update all past stock adjustments done for both Level and Value

##### Webatar Stock Level Adjustment module
For the next Stock Level Adjust sent to the server, the Stock Adjustment Type can be changed by selecting from the "Stock Types" field **(2)**. The available Stock Level Adjustment Types, which are synced to the device in the Settings panel, will contain all active Types, unless restrictions were enabled in SCM User Setup, on the user in the "Process By" field **(1)**.
The Description field **(3)** is automatically set to the description of the selected Stock Adjustment Type.
Unlike the Stock Types field, the "Item WHS" field **(4)** currently is populated by the user signed into Webatar and not the "Process By" user.
While the form fields are saved for each Process By user, so that an incomplete Stock Level Adjust can be returned to later, the list of items is currently shared between all Process By users on the device. This means that any items left by the last Process By user will remain for the next Process By user.
