In NetSuite, both Adjust Inventory and Adjust Inventory Worksheet are used to update inventory quantities, but they serve slightly different purposes and offer distinct workflows. The Adjust Inventory option is typically used for detailed, individual inventory corrections. It allows users to select specific items, enter new quantities, and specify adjustment accounts. This method is ideal when making smaller or immediate corrections to inventory levels and provides more control over location, bin, and cost details.
On the other hand, the Adjust Inventory Worksheet is designed for bulk inventory updates, such as during cycle counts or physical inventory reconciliations. It provides a spreadsheet-like interface where users can import or manually enter data for multiple items at once. This method is faster for large adjustments and is often used when adjusting inventory in bulk without focusing on detailed costing or location-specific tracking. Choosing between the two depends on the complexity and volume of the inventory changes you need to make.
