Feature request: Custom Inventory Adjustment reasons

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.)

YES! please. 

"Store Use" would be super helpful.  So too would 'sold individually'

 

I use POS.

@simplyyours At this time it's not possible to enter a custom stock adjustement reason but it's a request we've heard before in this thread

 

Can you reply here to share a bit more about your business and perhaps how often you receive stock/itesm as donations/gifts?

Would like to add my name to the list wishing there were a better way to track items removed from inventory for store use (testers etc.)

I need this as well. Not everything we remove is loss or damage. Sometimes it’s donation or store use. Any hope?

Yes! Donation, In Store Use or Store Sample would all be great additions

Hi yes 

I would also like to know how to adjust stock for a donation  or raffle prizes instead of just stock recount.

I would like to be able to add custom Inventory adjustments. I found a previous thread but am unclear what the result is. I would like to be able to use 'Comp' or 'Sample' as one reason, as well as 'Other Sale' for when a sale is made separately to using Square, but I still need to track the inventory reduction. Thanks!

Hey @AdamHM,

 

Thanks for getting in touch!

 

At the moment we don't have a way of adding custom inventory adjustment reasons on our POS app - you'd need to pick from one of the following:

 

 

I can see how this would be a very handy feature though - obviously the above 6 options don't cover every reason you may recount stock! I'll certainly pass on your feedback to our product team - we track feature requests and the most requested features tend to drive what we build, so it's important to have your voice heard!

 

You may also be able to use a combination of things like Comp and Void and Discounts (eg a 100% discount for a free sample) to try and achieve what you're trying to do!

Add me among the number who would like to be able to adjust inventory for sample/tester/store use. I ring up and comp donation items but I don't want to do that when moving inventory to be a tester because it will mess up my year end reports. I use POS.
