The warehouse manager can use the Deduct Inventory Adjustments (DIAU) screen to make negative inventory adjustments to inventory detail records. Transactions processed on the Deduct Inventory Adjustments (DIAU) screen also result in adjustments to the asset balance in the general ledger. Specifically, the item’s asset balance is decreased during production the night following the adjustment.

Like the Add Inventory Adjustments (AIAU) screen, there are two methods for accessing the Deduct Inventory Adjustments (DIAU) screen. The warehouse manager may access the Deduct Inventory Adjustments (DIAU) screen either from the Find Inventory by Item (FII) screen or directly from any other screen in the Inventory module.

The appearance of the Deduct Inventory Adjustments (DIAU) screen is also similar to the appearance of the Add Inventory Adjustments (AIAU) screen. The top third of the Deduct Inventory Adjustments (DIAU) screen displays summary information for the item at all warehouse locations while the middle part of the screen displays information regarding only the inventory detail record being adjusted. NCAS policy only allows the warehouse manager to enter a value in the QUANTITY DEDUCTED field at the bottom of the Deduct Inventory Adjustments (DIAU) screen. All other fields on this portion of the screen must be left blank.
