Feature request: Custom Inventory Adjustment reasons

[VVP]

The title of this thread has been edited from the original: Inventory Adjustment Reasons

While I am very thankful for the in-app inventory tracking, the options for adjusting seem to lack a few. Could we make that customizable to meet specific needs? In my opinion Damage, Theft, Loss are pretty much the same, however I need an option for “Store Use” or “Transfer” (out for the most part as transfer in can be considered stock received, I suppose.)

Hello!!  We really need the ability to have a reason other than those listed.  We have store use and we also bundle products or use products to make new products.  PLEASE!!   This is not a difficult feature to add.

Here is my work around using square for retail.  Create new customer named “Store Use” adjust price of items to $0.  Gives you tracking ability and adjusts your inventory.

Thank you for sharing this workaround, @SUPTahoe!

Any chance of this happening?

Thank you for highlighting this for possible improvement to inventory management. If there was even an "other" option to the inventory options with an area for notes to distinguish the reason like store use, donation, advert/marketing. This would be incredibly useful and better than always doing an "inventory recount" which is presently the only impractical option.

Yes. I'd like to add my voice for this request. Please!!!! As great as Square is, the inventory management function is frustratingly lacking here.  Inventory isn't just received, damaged, recounted, lost, etc. Inventory can be legitimately used for advert/market, use in another product, donations or other retail store use. Users should be able to accurately reflect these alternative uses within Square without resorting to a hack or an external spreadsheet.  Even just adding an  "Other" option with a space for users to add a short searchable note (eg donation, advert/market, etc.) would be a big help. Thank you!

Yes, please - the current options for Inventory Adjustments are not adequate. I would much rather have just "Loss" and then the ability to list a reason for the Loss (such as Sampling, Internal Use, etc.)

We also would love more options. Our work around is to create some discount codes of 100% (Sample, Donation etc) then run a sale for any items using the proper discount.
