Question

In QuickBooks desktop I can make an inventory and total value adjustment which will take the cost of the product out of my total value. How do I do this in QB Online?

    I'd gladly walk you through the process of creating a value adjustment for your inventory, mnk_398.

     

    To update the value of your inventory in QuickBooks Online, simply head to the Products & Services page and follow these steps:

     

    1. On the left navigation panel, hover on Sales. Then, click Products & services.
    2. Locate the item you're adjusting the value for.
    3. Press the dropdown arrow beside Edit.
    4. Select Adjust starting value.
    5. Make the necessary adjustments. Then, Save.

     

    After completion, the value of your inventory will be modified to accurately reflect the current value of your stock.

    Will this adjustment show as a reduction / expense for the loss of product due to damage?
