What is a good way to approve warehouse inventory adjustments?
A controlled way to approve warehouse inventory adjustments is to record each adjustment with item, quantity, and reason, require investigation above a set value, route approvals by value, share adjustments with customers when their stock is affected, and analyze reasons monthly.
In Jestor, adjustments, items, and approvals are connected, so stock changes are explained and controlled.
