Inventory adjustment options in Dynamics 365 for Finance & Operations

On the Encore Business Solutions blog, Katalin Kegel stated that during a D365FO implementation, you can group the functionalities in the system into two categories: The ones the users are familiar with, such as sales orders and purchase orders, and the entirely new functionalities.

Kegel stated that the movement journal fell into the second category.

It takes a while for users to get off the one-track mindset, that any inventory adjustments have to be a profit/loss. So what is the movement journal and why do we love it?

Kegel stated that Dynamics 365 for Finance & Operations offers four distinct functionalities for adjusting inventory: Counting journals; adjustment journals; movement journals; and bill of materials.

You can find out more about the movement journal as well as the other functionalities for adjusting inventory here.
