There is a proper way to adjust inventory in QuickBooks. Watch this short video for more details!
To complete a QuickBooks inventory adjustment:
- Select Vendors, Inventory Activities from the menu bar
- Select Adjust Quantity/Value on Hand
- Choose the proper Adjustment Type, Quantity, Total File, or Quantity and Total Value
- The adjustment account should be an income or expense account (not the inventory asset account)
- Then select your items and enter the New Quantity or Qty Difference
The value of your adjustment will be displayed in the lower right of the Adjustment dialog.
