Stock Adjustment
A correction to stock levels to account for damage, theft, counting errors, or other discrepancies.
Stock adjustments are used when the physical quantity of a medicine doesn't match the system record. Common reasons include damage, spoilage, theft, dispensing errors, or expiry. Every adjustment should be recorded with a reason and approved by a manager. Musawo records all adjustments with a reason code, user, and timestamp for full accountability.
