Stock Transactions
View and create manual stock adjustments, understand the transaction log, and track every movement of stock through IEMSuite.
Every change to a stock lot balance - inbound receipt, production output, fulfillment, transfer, or manual adjustment - is recorded as an immutable Stock Transaction. This gives you a complete, auditable history of every stock movement.
Transaction Types
| Type | Effect | Created By |
|---|---|---|
| INBOUND | +qty | Inbound logging - new stock arrives from supplier |
| PRODUCE_FG | +qty | Production batch completion - finished goods output lot created |
| SHIP_OUT | -qty | Order shipment - lot consumed by a fulfilled order |
| TRANSFER | ±qty | Location transfer - stock moved between locations |
| CONSUME | -qty | Production batch - raw material lot consumed as ingredient |
| ADJUSTMENT | ±qty | Stock correction, cycle count or synchronized quantity change |
| STOCK_ADJUSTMENT | -qty | Manual negative adjustment (e.g. damage, loss, cycle count deficit) |
| WASTAGE | -qty or 0 | Material loss; an RMA scrap audit records zero because returned scrap never entered available stock |
| MANUAL_CONSUMPTION | -qty | Ad-hoc consumption outside a formal production batch |
| RETURN | +qty | Customer return - stock added back after RMA |
Manual Adjustments
Use manual adjustments to correct discrepancies found during stock counts, record damaged or expired goods disposal, or add stock that arrived outside the normal inbound flow.
Go to Inventory → Products and open the product
Click "Adjust Stock" on the product detail page.
Select the lot
Pick the specific stock lot to adjust.
Enter the quantity
Enter the absolute change amount (not the new total). E.g., if you have 50 units and found 3 extras, enter 3.
Add a reason
Recommended for traceability - for example: cycle count, damage, loss, or found.
Submit
The lot balance updates immediately and a transaction record is created.
Transaction Log
View all transactions for your organization in Inventory → Stock movements, filter them by type, and open any row for its details.
Correction Transactions
If you logged the wrong quantity, use a correction adjustment with reason "Correction" to bring the lot back to the correct balance. Always add a note explaining what was corrected and why - this preserves the audit trail.
Audit Trail
The transaction log, combined with user tracking on each record, forms a complete audit trail. Each transaction records:
- Timestamp
- User who created it (Shopify-driven changes use a system user)
- Lot, product and quantity change
- The related order or production batch, when there is one
- Notes
