Anyone ever created an approval Process for inventory Adjustments since it doesn't exist natively

I have never done it, but I believe you would need to make a separate custom record, apply your approval workflow to that and have the workflow create the actual inventory adjustment based upon information on your custom record. And then stop/revoke people from making inventory adjustments natively

doesn't realy seem like you can pause the transaction from happening after creating the adjustment so only way i could think of doing it without a custom record is to just create the IA, have the approval process on the record and then script it to "undo" the changes if it doesn't get approved which would be sloppy

So with that all being said, I was giving some thought to that custom record, and i was hoping to add in an item sublist in the bottom to add "items" like you would with a normal transaction. Ever done that?

You would typically create two custom records - one for body fields (Inventory Adjustment Request), and one for the line items (Inventory Adjustment Request Line) with field for parent inventory adj request and set record is parent

You could think about using a custom transaction instead of a custom record, but I'm not sure how well it would work
