To process an inventory adjustment by using barcodes, you first need to
6-
open the *Barcode* app. Then, from the application, click on
7-
*Inventory Adjustments*.
5+
In a warehouse, the recorded inventory counts in the database might not always match the actual,
6+
real inventory counts. In such cases, inventory adjustments can be made to reconcile the
7+
differences, and ensure that the recorded counts in the database match the actual counts in the
8+
warehouse. In Odoo, the *Barcode* app can be used to make these adjustments.

This can be done from scratch in real time using an Odoo-compatible barcode scanner or the Odoo
11+
mobile app.

14+
*Barcode* apps, refer to the `Odoo Inventory • Hardware page

Once you have clicked on *Inventory Adjustments*, Odoo will
17-
automatically create one. Note that, if you work with multi-location,
18-
you first need to specify in which location the inventory adjustment
19-
takes place.

feature: :guilabel:`Barcode Nomenclature` (with a corresponding drop-down menu), where either
34+
:guilabel:`Default Nomenclature` or :guilabel:`Default GS1 Nomenclature` can be selected. The
35+
nomenclature selected changes how scanners interpret barcodes in Odoo.

Create and apply inventory adjustment
50+
=====================================
51+
52+
To scan product barcodes and apply inventory adjustments, navigate to the :menuselection:`Barcode
53+
app`.
54+
55+
Once inside the :guilabel:`Barcode app`, a :guilabel:`Barcode Scanning` screen displaying different
56+
options is presented. To create and apply inventory adjustments, click on the :guilabel:`Inventory
57+
Adjustments` button at the bottom of the screen. This automatically creates a new adjustment, and
58+
navigates to a new Barcode Inventory Client Action page with :guilabel:`Inventory Adjustment` at the
59+
top of the form.
60+
61+
.. image:: adjustments/adjustments-barcode-scanner.png
62+
:align: center
63+
:alt: Barcode app start screen with scanner.
64+
65+
To begin the adjustment, first scan the source location in the warehouse of the product whose count
66+
is being adjusted. Then, scan the product barcode(s). The barcode of a specific product can be
67+
scanned multiple times to increase the quantity of that product in the adjustment.
68+
69+
.. tip::
70+
If the warehouse *multi-location* feature is not enabled in the database, a source location does
71+
not need to be scanned. Instead, simply scan the product barcode to start the inventory
72+
adjustment.
73+
74+
Alternatively, the quantity can be changed by clicking the :guilabel:`pencil` icon on the far right
75+
of the product line, and editing the number in the :guilabel:`Quantity` line on the following
76+
screen. Additionally, the :guilabel:`+1` and :guilabel:`-1` buttons can be clicked to add or
77+
subtract quantity of the product, and the :guilabel:`number keys` can be used to add quantity, as
78+
well.
79+
80+
.. example::
81+
In the below Inventory Adjustment, the source location `WH/Stock/Shelf/2` was scanned. Then, the
82+
barcode for the product `[FURN_7888] Desk Stand with Screen` was scanned 3 times. Additional
83+
products can be added to this adjustment by scanning the barcodes for those specific products.

:alt: Barcode Inventory Client Action page with inventory adjustment.
88+
89+
To apply the inventory adjustment, click the green :guilabel:`Apply` button with the check mark at
90+
the bottom of the page. Once applied, Odoo navigates back to the :guilabel:`Barcode Scanning`
91+
screen. A small green banner appears in the top right of the page reading: **The inventory
92+
adjustment has been validated.**
93+
94+
.. admonition:: Did you know?
95+
96+
Odoo's *Barcode* application provides demo data with barcodes to explore the features of the app.
97+
These can be used for testing purposes, and can be printed from the home screen of the app. To
98+
access this demo data, navigate to the :menuselection:`Barcode app` and click :guilabel:`stock
99+
barcodes sheet` and :guilabel:`commands for Inventory` (bolded and highlighted in blue) in the
100+
information pop-up above the scanner.

Manually add products to inventory adjustment
107+
=============================================
108+
109+
When creating and applying inventory adjustments in a warehouse, Odoo *Barcode* can also be used to
110+
manually add products to the adjustment if location and product barcodes are not on hand. To do
111+
this, first navigate to the :menuselection:`Barcode app`.
112+
113+
Once inside the :guilabel:`Barcode app`, a :guilabel:`Barcode Scanning` screen displaying different
114+
options is presented. Create a new inventory adjustment by clicking on the :guilabel:`Inventory
115+
Adjustments` button at the bottom of the screen. This navigates to a new, blank Barcode Inventory
116+
Client Action page with :guilabel:`Inventory Adjustment` at the top of the form.
117+
118+
To manually add products to this adjustment, click the white :guilabel:`Add Product` button at the
119+
bottom of the screen.
120+
121+
This navigates to a new, blank page where the product, quantity, and source location can be chosen.
122+
123+
.. image:: adjustments/adjustments-keypad.png
124+
:align: center
125+
:alt: Keypad to add products on Barcode Inventory Client Action page.
126+
127+
First, click the :guilabel:`Product` line, and choose the product whose stock count should be
128+
adjusted. Then, manually enter the quantity of that product, either by changing the `1` in the
129+
:guilabel:`Quantity` line, or by clicking the :guilabel:`+1` and :guilabel:`-1` buttons to add or
130+
subtract quantity of the product. The :guilabel:`number keys` can be used to add quantity, as well.
131+
132+
Below the :guilabel:`number keys` is the :guilabel:`location` line, which should read `WH/Stock` by
133+
default. Click this line to reveal a drop-down menu of locations to choose from, and choose the
134+
:guilabel:`source location` for this inventory adjustment.
135+
136+
Once ready, click :guilabel:`Confirm` to confirm the changes.
137+
138+
To apply the inventory adjustment, click the green :guilabel:`Apply` button with the check mark at
139+
the bottom of the page. Once applied, Odoo navigates back to the :guilabel:`Barcode Scanning`
140+
screen. A small green banner appears in the top right of the page reading: **The inventory
141+
adjustment has been validated.**
