Hello @wz-lieberman,

 

Your inventory adjustments would show duplicated lines but they aren't necessarily duplicating the amounts of your inventories. Let me provide some details and get you familiarized the ins and outs of inventory adjustments.

 

When you create an inventory adjustment, the affected accounts are your Inventory Asset and Inventory Shrinkage. In the Transaction Journal of your inventory adjustment, it'll show two sets of the adjustment.

 

The adjustment wherein there are no amounts denotes the change in your inventory quantity. While the other denotes the change in the value of your inventory.

 

I've attached an article for more information about inventory.

 

Feel free to leave a comment below if you have any other concerns.

    Hello, we're seeing the same thing happening with our adjustments. Why does it show the second set if there is nothing happening in that set? Is there a way to keep it from doing this? When we have to dig in to our inventory because of a discrepancy that this could easily start causing confusion, especially as we expect to be making weekly adjustments as a work around for our RMA process. I would definitely appreciate some more information.

    Thanks for joining the thread, @GiuliettaM.

     

    Happy to provide some additional insight into why you're seeing to entries when doing an inventory adjustment. As my colleague mentioned previously, the second entry with no amounts represents the change in your inventory quantity, while the other is the change in value of the inventory. Quantity represents the number of on hand product you have, while value is the dollar amount of the on hand product you have.
