Performing Inventory Adjustments OUT
The Inventory Adjustment Out process in WMS+ is used to remove stock that cannot be sold, used or repurposed. Typical cases include disposals, damaged goods, expired items or corrections after cycle counts. The workflow creates a direct Goods Issue in SAP Business One, assigning a Reason Code and providing batch traceability if applicable.
Note: For details on pallet handling behavior and item type differences (batch-managed vs non-batch), see the Receiving and Inventory Intake Overview.
Workflow Summary
Entry Point: Inventory → Inventory Adjustment-Out

Step-by-Step Instructions
Access the Inventory module
From the WMS+ main menu, click Inventory, then select Inventory Adjustment-Out.
Inventory Adjustment Out can be performed using two methods: scanning or manual entry.
Scanning workflow:
From the Inventory Adjustment Out screen, scan the item barcode.
If the barcode includes GS1 data, such as quantity, batch number, or serial number, WMS+ auto-populates the Goods Issue screen, allowing a Reason Code to be selected.
If the batch is not included, WMS+ prompts for a bin location to confirm the source.
Manual workflow:
Click the checklist icon in the top right corner of the Goods Issue Items screen.
Select the warehouse and then choose a bin from the list.
View Bin Contents and Pick Item
Once a bin is selected, WMS+ displays its contents. Each row displays the product, batch, quantity and expiration date.
To pick non-palletized stock, enter the required quantity directly in the Quantity field, adjust using the plus/minus buttons if needed, and click Done.
If the bin contains palletized stock:
Click the pallet row to pick the entire pallet. A Picked tag will appear.
Or click the orange box icon to pick a specific quantity from the pallet.
The item row then appears on the Goods Issue screen. Click Done to confirm the selection.
Review Pick Details and Select Reason Code
On the Goods Issue screen, the picked item displays with bin details. Click the row to adjust quantity, enter the Reason Code, update batch info if needed or trigger label printing.
Unpick Pallet (manual workflow only)
If a full pallet was picked, the License Plate appears on the Goods Issue screen as a yellow tile.
Click the tile to review contents and unpick if required.
Proceed to Completion
Once item details and the Reason Code are confirmed:
Click Next. WMS+ displays Transaction Saved and returns to an empty list view.
Click Complete. When prompted, “Are you sure you want to complete this trip?”, click OK.
WMS+ displays the Goods Issue Complete screen. If configured, a Crystal Report layout may be triggered. Click Done to finish.
Common Scenarios
Disposing of damaged or spoiled product.
Writing off expired stock.
Correcting discrepancies found during cycle counting.
Removing quarantined stock flagged by quality control.
Summary
The Inventory Adjustment-Out workflow allows warehouse staff to remove unsellable or unusable stock from inventory. Users scan or manually select the item, confirm bin details, assign a Reason Code and complete the transaction. WMS+ creates a Goods Issue in SAP Business One, and a Crystal Report layout may be printed if configured.
