# Other Actions in Stock Adjustments

Filtering, attaching, and reading the adjustment total as a number in its own right.

Adjustments are worth watching in aggregate, not just raising one at a time. The list is where that reading happens.

![The Stock Adjustments list with columns for Date, Adjustment number, Reason, Description, Type, Warehouse, Status and Total Value, showing a mix of Quantity and Value adjustments across five depots, some Adjusted and some Draft, with total values ranging from a 6,372.69 write-down to a 5,429.00 opening balance.](https://www.sorviai.com/help/inventory/stock-adjustments/adjustments-list.png)

*Sort by Total Value and the expensive ones come first, which is rarely the same as the recent ones.*

## On the list

| Action | What it does |
| --- | --- |
| Filter by reason | Separates a count discrepancy from breakage, which are different problems |
| Filter by warehouse | Narrows to one depot, where a pattern usually belongs |
| Filter by type | Quantity changes against value write-downs |
| Filter by status | Drafts are adjustments nobody has applied yet |
| Sort by total value | Puts the expensive ones first |
| Export | Takes the filtered list out as a file |

## On one adjustment

| Action | When it is available |
| --- | --- |
| View | Always. An applied adjustment is a record |
| Attach a document | Always. The stocktake sheet belongs here |
| Edit | Only while it is a draft |
| Delete | Only while it is a draft |

> **Warning:**
>
> **Drafts are invisible to your stock figures**
>
> A draft has moved nothing, so an adjustment left unapplied is a correction that has not happened. If the list shows drafts older than a day or two, somebody started a correction and walked away from it.

## Reading the total

The Stock Movement report filtered to adjustments is a good monthly read, and it answers a question no single document does: what is this costing us.

- **A rising total**: Usually a process problem rather than bad luck. Goods leaving undocumented, receives entered short, or a unit of measure nobody agrees on.
- **One item, repeatedly**: Worth investigating before the next stocktake rather than after it.
- **A large one-off**: Should have a description explaining it. If it does not, that is the finding.
