For more information about adjustments, see About Processing Adjustments and Adjusting Item Quantities and Costs.
The following information is printed on the adjustments posting journal:
- The type of adjustment (Cost Increase, Cost Decrease, Quantity Increase, Quantity Decrease, Both Increase, Both Decrease). If you make an adjustment to a LIFO or FIFO item, this column also specifies the bucket type (Offset Bucket, Specific Bucket, or Prorate).
- The item number, description, category, location, quantity, and UOM.
- The general ledger accounts affected by each transaction and the amount debited or credited to each account. (This information appears on all Inventory Control posting journals.) The Debit and Credit columns show changes in functional currency to the adjustment/write-off accounts when you adjust costs. A change in quantity only does not affect these accounts.

The following information is printed on the receipts posting journal:
- The receipt number, description, reference, vendor, date, posting date, year/period, and PO number.
- The day-end number and the entry number assigned by Day End Processing to form a unique set of numbers that identifies each transaction on all Inventory Control posting journals.
- The item number, description, category, location, quantity, and UOM.
- The item's extended cost (unit cost multiplied by the quantity) and the item's prorated additional cost, if any. Extended costs are expressed in source currency in the multicurrency version of the report.
- The invoice cost (per unit cost in functional currency) and the new unit cost (in functional currency), which is the invoice cost plus any allocated portion of an additional cost.
- The general ledger accounts affected by each transaction and the amount debited or credited to each account. (This information appears on all Inventory Control posting journals.) The cost amounts in the Debit and Credit columns are calculated by multiplying the quantity by the new unit cost. On multicurrency journals, the results are in functional currency.
- If you use the Source Code/Day End Number/Entry Number option for the G/L Description or Reference fields, these numbers appear with unconsolidated transactions in the general ledger batch.
The bottom of the journal contains:
- The number of transactions in the posting journal.
- A summary that lists separate totals for receipts, receipt returns, and receipt adjustments in the posting journal.
- A general ledger summary that lists the totals for each general ledger account created by the transactions listed on the posting journal. (This information appears on all Inventory Control posting journals.)
In multicurrency versions of the journal, amounts are expressed in both source and functional currencies. The journal shows the currency code for each detail and prorated additional cost on the journal.
