🔁 Stock Adjustments: Reverse vs Remove
Now, what’s the difference between Reverse and Remove?
Remove Stock (from “Stock” button)
- Found by clicking Stock > Remove Stock
- You remove a quantity of an item.
- The system uses the average cost of all current stock.
Example:
You have:
- 10 water bottles at $1
- 10 water bottles at $1.5
= 20 water bottles at $25 total
➡️ If you remove 10 bottles:
- System removes them at $1.25 each (average cost)
- Total removed: $12.5
🔄 Reverse Transaction (from Stock History)
- Found by clicking Reverse on the specific stock transaction in Stock History
- Reverses the entire transaction exactly as it was entered
- Keeps the original cost intact
Example:
If you reverse the last transaction:
- Removes 10 water bottles at $1.5 each
- Total removed: $15
- Cleaner and more accurate, especially for correcting errors
