# Inventory Adjustment Reasons

**Marlin Tyre and Mechanical Workshop Software** enables efficient and accurate inventory management through the addition of customisable inventory adjustment reasons.

An inventory adjustment reason must be selected whenever items are written off or their inventory amounts are otherwise adjusted outside of a sale, purchase or branch transfer.

To view or edit inventory adjustment reasons, select **System > Items> Inventory Adjustment Reasons** from the menu bar.

The Inventory Adjustment Reasons module will open on the **Search** window, showing a list of active inventory adjustment reasons.
