Complete a Part Stock Adjustment in Blackpurl

Use the Adjust In-Stock option on a part record to increase or decrease Stock on Hand and keep your inventory counts accurate.

A part stock adjustment lets you correct the Stock on Hand quantity on a part record in Blackpurl — whether you've found unrecorded stock or need to write off missing or stolen parts. If you have accounting integration enabled, both increases and decreases will post a transaction to your accounting package.

When to Use a Part Stock Adjustment

Common scenarios where a part stock adjustment is needed:

  • You find parts at the back of the dealership that were never entered into stock and want Blackpurl to reflect the correct quantity on hand.

  • A part has been stolen or gone missing and you need to reduce the quantity shown in Blackpurl to match what's physically on hand.
