Inventory adjustment

Mesh  •  Article  •  4/27/2026  • 

Inventory Adjustment is accessed directly from the Mesh Home screen as a standalone action from the hamburger menu. The worker taps the Adjustments button, and the system immediately opens the adjustment workflow — no document selection is required.

On opening, the Adjustments screen displays:

  • A step input area for scanning or entering values.
  • An info pane (shown progressively as data is collected) with Location, Item, Lot, Bin, Variant, and Quantity.
  • An Undo button to reverse the last confirmed step.

Processing adjustments

The following procedure shows how to register an inventory adjustment in Mesh.

  1. Open the Mesh Home screen.

  2. Select Adjustments from the home screen.

    The Adjustments workflow opens immediately.

  3. In the Scan Item field, scan or enter the item number. The system validates that the item exists and is not blocked.

  4. In the Lot Tracking: Required field, scan or enter a lot number (if required). This step appears only for lot-tracked items.
  5. In the Scan Bin Code field, scan or enter the bin code for the adjustment (if required). This step appears only if the Bin Mandatory is turned on for the location. The system validates that the bin exists and is not blocked.
  6. In the Select Variant field, select or scan the item variant code (if required). This step appears only if the scanned item has variants. Select No Variant if the item does not require a variant code.
  7. In the Enter Quantity field, scan or enter the quantity to adjust. The system validates the quantity is numeric. Once the quantity is scanned or entered, scan entries are created in the system with a Pending status.
  8. In the Reason Code field, enter or select the reason code for the adjustment. Once the reason code is entered or confirmed, the adjustment is registered successfully.

After all steps are confirmed, the system posts the adjustment and displays a success message. The adjustment is immediately reflected in inventory ledger entries in Business Central.

Scan GS1-compliant barcodes

You can scan GS1-compliant barcodes containing lot number, bin, variant, and quantity information to automatically populate multiple workflow fields during Adjustments. This eliminates manual entry and strengthens traceability across the adjustment process.

  1. Open the Adjustments screen in Mesh.
  2. Scan the GS1-compliant barcode containing the relevant fields.

The system completes the Adjustment for the item once all the required data is scanned.

The Adjustment is posted, and the system creates the corresponding item ledger entries.
