1. There are two different methods used by the alert to calculate the inventory adjustment:
Net value: will advise when an overall adjustment exceeds the amount in Variable W, can be either negative or positive. For example, someone decreases two items @ $30 each and increases one item for $40, the net change is -$20.
This would be done through an inventory adjustment (Choose Inventory drop-down, adjustments):
Now choose new and pick the type of adjustment (Cost, Increase or Decrease Qty):
Now that the adjustments have been made, it's good to have a way to audit what happened, and the intention of ID495 is to keep you informed of such adjustments.
Absolute value: two items decreased @ $30 each and one item increased by $40, is $100 worth of change. If using this setting, we recommend setting Variable W low to start, and gradually increasing until you get a feel for what your adjustments normally run.
Note: this alert looks at total Adjustments, not individual items on adjustments.
Variable W = The Default is $250. Set a dollar amount to trigger on or above
Variable X = Default is True (False = Net value, and True = Absolute value).
