Understanding the difference between transferring and adjusting stock


Stock transfers are useful for tracking the creation of finished goods from components items. With stock transfers, the value of the finished goods must be equal to the value of the component items. (Transferring stock)

Stock adjustments are used to track shrinkage, items sold without an MYOB Accounting Plus invoice or purchased without an MYOB Accounting Plus purchase order.
