• Enter the part number or type part of its description and press <Enter> to search for it.
• Enter the quantity to adjust by, making sure you enter a minus sign since the stock level has gone down thanks to the theft.

• Press <Esc> and choose [Accept] to save the adjustment.

If you use the Platinum Accounts module, this adjustment will post a Debit to the Stock Adjustments code and a Credit to the Stock Value code in the Nominal Ledger to reflect the stock movement.
