Adjusting standard tracked items
Video walkthrough: Manual inventory adjustments for standard items
Watch this video to see how to perform a manual inventory adjustment for standard tracked items via the item view and the bin view.
Step 1: Navigate to the item
There are two ways to start a manual adjustment for standard items. Both lead to the same adjustment flow.
Path A: Via the item view
Navigate to Inventory in the left side panel.
Find and select the item you want to update to open its item details page.
Go to the Inventory tab.
Click the Adjust button next to the location you want to update.
Path B: Via the bins view
Navigate back to the Inventory Page.
Open the Bins tab.
Select the bin you want to update.
Find the item in the bin and click Adjust.
Step 2: Make the adjustment
From either path, the Adjust quantity modal will open, showing the current quantity in stock.
💡 Digit Tip: The new quantity updates in real time as you type positive numbers. For negative adjustments, always click the Adjust by button to confirm
Choose your adjustment method:
Adjust by: calculates the new quantity based on the number you enter. For example, entering 6 adds 6 units to your current stock.
To reduce stock, enter a negative number (for example, -5 removes 5 units),
Then click the Adjust by button to confirm the change.
Set to: saves the number you enter as the new total, overriding the current quantity.
⚠️ Adjusting down: The new quantity will not update until you click the button. This is an important step to confirm the change.
Once you are happy with the change, click Next.
Step 3: Add a reason and notes
Documenting the reason for an adjustment helps your team maintain accurate records and supports your accounting workflow.
Select an existing reason or create a new one. Reasons are fully customizable; your team can define whatever categories make sense for your operation.
Optionally, add a note for additional context.
Fill in any custom fields that your team has configured.
Click Save to complete the adjustment.
✅ Best practice: Always provide a reason for manual adjustments. This keeps your adjustment log meaningful and makes it much easier to investigate discrepancies during audits or stock counts.
Step 4: Review the adjustment
You can review any adjustment from two places in Digit.
Item history tab
Open the History tab on the item details page. The adjustment will appear as an Inventory adjusted event, showing the quantity change, bin location, and a reference number starting with INVADJ. Click the reference number to view the full adjustment details.
Adjustments view
Navigate to the Adjustments tab on the main Inventory page for a centralized view of all adjustments made across your items.
Adjusting serialized items
Video walkthrough: Manual inventory adjustments for serialized items
Watch this video to see how to perform a manual inventory adjustment for serialized items via the item view and the serialized view.
ℹ️ Note: For serialized items, adjustments are made at the individual label level not at the bin level. Each unit has its own label and must be adjusted separately.
Step 1: Navigate to the label
There are two ways to find the label you want to adjust. Both lead to the same adjustment flow.
Path A: Via the item view
Navigate to Inventory in the left side panel.
Find and select the item you want to adjust to open its item details page.
Go to the Inventory tab. You will see a list of all individual labels for that item.
Click the label you want to adjust to open the label details.
Scroll down to the Inventory details section and click the Adjust button next to the quantity in stock.
Path B: Via the serialized view
Navigate back to the Inventory Page.
Open the Serialized tab. Here you will find all your labels in one view.
Scroll or search to find the specific label you need, then click it to open the label details.
Scroll down to the Inventory details section and click Adjust.
Step 2: Make the adjustment
From either path, the Adjust quantity modal will open. This works the same as for standard items:
Adjust by: calculates the new quantity based on the number you enter.
Set to: saves the number you enter as the new total, overriding the current quantity.
⚠️ Adjusting down: To reduce stock, type a negative number (for example, -5) and then click the Adjust by button. The new quantity will not update until you click the button.
Once you are happy with the change, click Next.
Step 3: Add a reason and notes
Select an existing reason or create a new one.
Optionally, add a note and fill in any custom fields if your team has configured them.
Click Save to complete the adjustment.
Step 4: Review the adjustment
💡 Digit Tip: For serialized items, make sure you have the correct location selected in the history filter; otherwise, your adjustment may not appear in the list.
Item history tab
Open the History tab on the item details page. Your adjustment will appear listed as Inventory adjusted, along with the quantity change and the INVADJ reference number. Click the reference number to view the full adjustment details.
Wrapping up
Whether you're correcting a count, reconciling a physical inventory, or documenting a stock change, manual adjustments give you a flexible way to keep your inventory accurate at the item level for standard tracking, and at the label level for serialized items. Every adjustment is logged with a reference number and a reason, so your team always has a clear record of what changed and why.
