Note: The Accounting Link does not make adjusting journal entries for any changes made directly to the Inventory Database records nor does it make adjusting entries for any transactions that were previously posted. For Inventory Database records, it is recommended to use the Variance Module (Database Manager, Special, Variance) to adjust inventory quantities. For Transactions, it is recommended to enter Void (Reversing) transactions. These transactions will post in the new posting period.
