Note that Stock Level Adjustments will only process on current dates, they will not be able to be back dated or forward dated.
We allow only one time where you can back date the stock level adjustment and that is when one is doing the take on balances of stock.The rule is that it has to be the VERY first transaction to be processed.Now go to the tab below where it says process and click on the process button.The stock level adjustment will process the stock and update your stock quantities.
