In our previous blog on Serial/Lot Stock report, we discussed finding out the variance between actual serial/Lot inventory and the quantity on hand present in the inventory.

In the industries where they strictly use the serial and lot inventory management, if they find a difference between actual quantities on hand in the warehouse and serial and lot number present in the ERP system, then they will have to adjust the serial and lot variance without affecting the actual inventory quantity on hand. In this blog post, we will see how to do just that.
Before adjusting the variance, you first need to find out the variance in serial and lot quantity with Inventory Control–>IC Stock Control Report–>Serial and Lot Qty. on Hand
In above report for the Serialized item number A1-103/R, actual quantity on hand is 6 and the total number of serial numbers in the system is 2. This means that 4 serial numbers must be added to the system to match the actual quantity on hand and serial number in the system.
In order to adjust the serial number you need to go to Inventory Control–> I/C Periodic Processing–>Serial Lot Reconciliation
In this screen, if there is a serial/Lot item with positive variance, then you need to select the Receipt as a transaction type so as to add the serial/Lot number in the system to match the Quantity on hand. Also if there is a serial/Lot with negative variance, then in order to remove the serial/Lot number from the system, you need to select the transaction type as Shipment.
In above example, as there is a positive variance for below serial item at Location 1, we need to add that number of serial numbers in the system.
| Item Number | Serial Number | Quantity on hand | Variance |
| A1-103/R | 2 | 6 | 4 |
| A1-105/R | 3 | 8 | 5 |
Refer below screen shot
Now when you count actual inventory and the Serial number in the system, the numbers will match.
