Hi nhill , your question relates to the use of AccountRight, which is NOT financial advice.
When you record an entry on the adjustment transaction, what account number do you enter? If you enter the inventory asset account, that will cause ever-increasing out-of-balances, because the adjusting journal that is created will debit/credit the same account. The account number should be somewhere in your cost of sales, eg an inventory adjustment account. AccountRIght will automatically post the other side of that entry to the asset account.
Thank you for your advice. The default account is meant to be a cost of sales account (stock adjustments) but I have noticed that it sometimes posts to my stock on hand (asset) account. It seems to alternate from one line to the next when I try to make multiple adjustments using the count inventory feature.
