About stock adjustment history
With a Square for Retail or Square for Restaurants Plus or Premium subscription, you can gain insights into the flow of your inventory by viewing historical adjustments.
Before you begin
Your stock can be adjusted in three ways:
Deduction: adjusts for damaged, lost and sold items.
Deduction or addition: re-counted items.
Addition: adjusts for received, restocked and transferred items.
