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.

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

If you want to fully work with barcodes, you can download the sheet
14-
*Commands for Inventory*.
14+
For a list of Odoo-compatible barcode mobile scanners, and other hardware for the *Inventory* and
15+
*Barcode* apps, refer to the `Odoo Inventory • Hardware page
16+
<https://www.odoo.com/app/inventory-hardware>`_.

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.

If you don’t work with multi-location, you will be able to scan the
25-
different products you want to include in the inventory adjustment.
24+
To use the *Barcode* app to create and apply inventory adjustments, it **must** be installed by
25+
enabling the feature from the settings of the *Inventory* app.

To do so, go to the :menuselection:`Inventory app --> Configuration --> Settings`. Then, scroll down
28+
to the :guilabel:`Barcode` section, and click the checkbox next to the :guilabel:`Barcode Scanner`
29+
option.

If you have 5 identical articles, scan it 5 times or use the keyboard to
32-
set the quantity.
31+
Once the checkbox is ticked, click :guilabel:`Save` at the top of the page to save changes.
32+
33+
After saving, a new drop-down menu appears under the :guilabel:`Barcode Scanner` option, labeled
34+
:guilabel:`Barcode Nomenclature`, where either :guilabel:`Default Nomenclature` or
35+
:guilabel:`Default GS1 Nomenclature` can be selected. Each nomenclature option determines how
36+
scanners interpret barcodes in Odoo.
37+
38+
There is also a :guilabel:`Configure Product Barcodes` internal link arrow, along with a set of
39+
:guilabel:`Print` buttons for printing barcode commands and a barcode demo sheet.

Perform an inventory adjustment
51+
===============================
52+
53+
Begin by navigating to the :menuselection:`Barcode app --> Barcode Scanning` dashboard, where
54+
different options will be displayed, including :guilabel:`Operations`, :guilabel:`Inventory
55+
Adjustments`, and :guilabel:`Batch Transfers`.
56+
57+
To create and apply inventory adjustments, click on the :guilabel:`Inventory Adjustments` button at
58+
the bottom of the screen.
59+
60+
Doing so navigates to the *Barcode Inventory Client Action* page, labeled as :guilabel:`Inventory
61+
Adjustment` in the top header section.
62+
63+
.. image:: adjustments/adjustments-barcode-scanner.png
64+
:align: center
65+
:alt: Barcode app start screen with scanner.
66+
67+
To begin the adjustment, first scan the *source location*, which is the current location in the
68+
warehouse of the product whose count should be adjusted. Then, scan the product barcode(s).
69+
70+
The barcode of a specific product can be scanned multiple times to increase the quantity of that
71+
product in the adjustment.
72+
73+
.. tip::
74+
If the warehouse *multi-location* feature is **not** enabled in the database, a source location
75+
does not need to be scanned. Instead, simply scan the product barcode to start the inventory
76+
adjustment.
77+
78+
Alternatively, the quantity can be changed by clicking the :guilabel:`✏️ (pencil)` icon on the far
79+
right of the product line.
80+
81+
Doing so opens a separate window with a keypad. Edit the number in the :guilabel:`Quantity` line to
82+
change the quantity. Additionally, the :guilabel:`+1` and :guilabel:`-1` buttons can be clicked to
83+
add or subtract quantity of the product, and the number keys can be used to add quantity, as well.
84+
85+
.. example::
86+
In the below inventory adjustment, the source location `WH/Stock/Shelf/2` was scanned, assigning
87+
the location. Then, the barcode for the product `[FURN_7888] Desk Stand with Screen` was scanned
88+
3 times, increasing the units in the adjustment. Additional products can be added to this
89+
adjustment by scanning the barcodes for those specific products.

94+
95+
To complete the inventory adjustment, click the green :guilabel:`✅ Apply` button with the check mark
96+
at the bottom of the page.
97+
98+
Once applied, Odoo navigates back to the :guilabel:`Barcode Scanning` screen. A small green banner
99+
appears in the top right corner, confirming validation of the adjustment.
100+
101+
.. admonition:: Did you know?
102+
103+
Odoo's *Barcode* application provides demo data with barcodes to explore the features of the app.
104+
These can be used for testing purposes, and can be printed from the home screen of the app.
105+
106+
To access this demo data, navigate to the :menuselection:`Barcode app` and click :guilabel:`stock
107+
barcodes sheet` and :guilabel:`commands for Inventory` (bolded and highlighted in blue) in the
108+
information pop-up window above the scanner.

Manually add products to inventory adjustment
115+
=============================================
116+
117+
When the barcodes for the location or product are not available, Odoo *Barcode* can still be used to
118+
perform inventory adjustments.
119+
120+
To do this, navigate to the :menuselection:`Barcode app --> Barcode Scanning --> Inventory
121+
Adjustments`.
122+
123+
Doing so navigates to the *Barcode Inventory Client Action* page, labeled as :guilabel:`Inventory
124+
Adjustment` in the top header section.
125+
126+
To manually add products to this adjustment, click the white :guilabel:`➕ Add Product` button at the
127+
bottom of the screen.
128+
129+
This navigates to a new, blank page where the desired product, quantity, and source location must be
130+
chosen.

Besides using the barcode scanner, you can also manually add a product
35-
if necessary. To do so, click on *Add Product* and fill the
36-
information in manually.
136+
First, click the :guilabel:`Product` line, and choose the product whose stock count should be
137+
adjusted. Then, manually enter the quantity of that product, either by changing the `1` in the
138+
:guilabel:`Quantity` line, or by clicking the :guilabel:`+1` and :guilabel:`-1` buttons to add or
139+
subtract quantity of the product. The number pad can be used to add quantity, as well.
