This article is about the current App version. If you are looking for the Admin portal version, please follow this link: the Admin portal version.

Overview

When miscounts occur or items are damaged, it may be necessary to adjust the inventory count within your warehouse bins. If you find that there is a difference between what is recorded in the system and the actual bin quantity, you can easily make an adjustment to address the discrepancy. Such adjustments can be performed either individually or in bulk. In this article, you will learn how to seamlessly adjust bin quantities for individual items using your handheld device or the Skustack Admin portal.

To learn more about adjusting bin quantities for multiple SKUs simultaneously, refer to Import Warehouse Bin Info.

Adjust Bin Quantity

To enable product bin adjustments in the Skustack app, activate the Allow Quantity Updates Warehouse Management setting. If necessary, you can also enforce an adjustment limit in the Set Quantity Updates Limit field.

Picking bin quantities cannot be adjusted through the Skustack app. If you need to adjust the quantity in a picking bin, it must be done through a transfer. To identify and resolve discrepancies in picking bins, refer to the Warehouse Qty Picked article.

From the Product Tab

Navigate to Product > Search product.
Select the search product Mode:
- SKU or UPC
- Serial
- Name of manufacturer SKU
- EAN (European Article Number)
- ASIN or FNSKU
- Lot number
Tap the Bins icon and a list of associated product bins will be displayed. Primary bins are marked with a star for easy identification.

To conceal bins with zero bin quantity, enable the Hide products with zero bin quantity Warehouse Management setting.
Select the relevant bin.
You can use one of the two following methods to either increase or decrease the quantity in the selected bin:
1. Scanning - Scan the products' SKUs as many times as you wish to change the quantity. The green + or red - indicate whether products are added or removed from the bin. To change between the two modes, simply tap the symbol.
2. Manually – Either type the desired number to adjust or use the +/- next to the number field to either increase or decrease the quantity.
If Warehouse Management setting Adjustment reason is enabled, you must point out a specific Reason for the quantity change.
Tap Adjust.
