You can easily let Artisan know about adjustments to inventory – including broken items. Artisan will even keep note on reports, which is especially handy when taking stock of all of your items.
Marking an Item as “Breakage”
There are two ways to mark an item as “Breakage.” You can do so on the Sales Screen or in the item record itself using an item adjustment.
On the Sales Screen
On the Sales Screen, input your item and select “Breakage” from the “Sales Type” dropdown menu.
Artisan will zero out the price, amount, and totals. It will also change the sales units to “0.”
Press “Finalize.” On the Sales Screen, press “Save.”
Within an Item Record
Edit the item you want to use as “Breakage.”
On the “Qty on Hand” field, enter the new quantity. For example, if you had eight in stock and one broke, enter “7.”
Inventory Adjustment Report
A great way to see any changes to your inventory is by running the “Inventory Adjustment Report.”
To get to this report, click on “Reports,” “Inventory Reports,” and “Inventory Adjustment Report” from the dropdown.
Or, from the “Main Menu,” select “Reports.”
Choose “Inventory Reports.”
Click on “Inventory Adjustment Report.”
Either way, you’ll end up at the following screen. You may select to include or exclude as many inventory adjustment types as necessary. Just make sure “Include Destroyed Items?” is set to “Yes.”
Here is the item we listed as “Breakage.”
