FAQs
Q. How do I know all batches have been posted?

Q. What if I can’t access Approve Inventory Adjustment Batch?
A. Contact your Club Administrator for access issues. Additionally, contact your Accounting department to ensure all appropriate batches have been posted prior to performing an Inventory adjustment.
Q. What’s the difference between using the Override Average Cost button and adjusting the Cost on screen 2 of the Inventory Wizard?
A. The Override Average Cost feature is to be used only when resetting the Item’s overall average cost, impacting all units of the Item. If an adjustment is being made to a subset of the total quantity of the Item (for instance 2 units when a total of 10 are on hand), the cost should be adjusted on screen 2 of the Inventory Wizard, and the Override Average Cost button should not be selected.
