Inventory Issue

The main difference between an Inventory Adjustment and Inventory Issue is the ability to select a GL Expense account per transactions. An Inventory Adjustment simply uses the GL account assigned to the warehouse. Users cannot override this on the transaction. Additionally, an Inventory Issue removes quantity from stock just like a sales order. When removing units from inventory, the quantity is a positive adjustment. If you need to add product to stock, the quantity is negative.
