This guide explains how to reduce products from inventory. <\/strong>

How are inventory changes recorded?<\/strong>
When inventory products are purchased or sold, stock changes are recorded automatically through purchase and sales invoices. However, changes can also be made directly on the Inventory Documents<\/strong> page. From there you can record inventory additions, reductions, and transfers.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When should the inventory balance be reduced?<\/strong>
The inventory balance is typically reduced through a sales invoice or stocktaking. However, a manual reduction may be used, for example, when products in stock have been damaged or are no longer saleable for another reason. <\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
