If this module is installed, the Description box expands to allow for more data. To automatically wrap the text when printing receipt adjustments, select the Autofit Row Height check box on the Reports>Forms Designer>OK button>Insert Table> Properties>Detail tab.

When an adjustment is made, the system uses the original receipt date's exchange rate.
Adjustment Number: Enter a unique receiving adjustment number or accept the number that the system assigned. When creating a new receiving adjustment, the system displays the next available receiving adjustment number; or press the + key. (Receiving adjustment number options were set up by the Administrator using Organization>Set Up Modules>Purchase Orders.) We recommend limiting your entry to strictly alphabetic characters (A through Z) or numeric characters (0 through 9), and avoiding the use of symbols. Note that posted receiving adjustment numbers can be recalled using the Find Button.
Adjustment Date: Enter an adjustment date or accept the system default date. Future dates are not allowed.
Adjusted By: Enter the name of the person who is adjusting the received items.
Original Receipt Number, Display: Select the original receipt number from the drop-down list, and then click the Display button. Once clicked, the Original Receipt Number and Display button are no longer available.
Items Adjusted: Enter the Adjusted Quantity, Adjusted Unit Price, and Comment.
