When you need to correct an inventory assessment after generating the inventory ownership and custody report, follow these steps:

Input adjustment details: Enter all necessary information about the adjustment (For related details, consult the Entering an Inventory Adjustment).
Save the record: Click Save. There’s no need to regenerate the inventory ownership and custody report following this adjustment, as NetSuite automatically incorporates these changes when generating the EFD IPI ICMS file for the next assessment period.

Best Practices for Inventory Adjustments

When managing inventory adjustments, keep these pointers in mind:

Limit item lines: Ensure that each adjustment does not exceed 1000 item lines, as this can lead to performance issues.
Use cost methods wisely: For accounts utilizing LIFO or FIFO methods, an inventory adjustment helps maintain the costing history appropriately.
Setting preferences: If large item lines are common in adjustments, enable the Display Current Count on Adjustments preference to enhance system performance.
