Overview

When miscounts occur or items are damaged, it may be necessary to adjust the inventory count within your warehouse bins.

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.
