Stock Adjustment
Reconcile counts vs system with multi-level approval and auto GL posting.
Reconcile physical stock counts with system balances. Record shortages, excesses, and damaged goods with multi-level approval and automatic general ledger posting on finalisation.
How Stock Adjustment actually works.
Even with a clean ERP, physical stock and system stock will drift, scrap, dust loss, manual handling. Pipetal’s stock adjustment is how you keep the books honest without informal “yeh thoda kam ho gaya” entries.
Every adjustment has a structured reason, multi-level approval, and an auto GL posting that hits the right loss or expense account. The audit trail is complete.

Where Stock Adjustment sits in the inventory flow.
A factory uncovers a 5% monthly scrap loss pattern from one shift.
Pipetal’s adjustment analytics flag that 5% of MS pipe stock disappears as “weighing variance” every month, all from the night shift. The owner replaces the night-shift weighbridge operator and the variance drops to under 1%, recovering 1.5-2 lac of monthly stock loss.
