an inventory adjustment makes the books correct, but it doesn't impact the existing IR i made to receive the inventory

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

Based on the conversations, it seems that the issue is related to the discrepancy between the balance sheet and the stock ledger due to incorrect inventory adjustments. Inventory adjustments indeed have an impact on the balance sheet as they are booked through Other Current Asset Accounts. However, it's important to note that amounts posted to the Inventory Account via Journal Entry don’t impact the product valuation, so they won't be reflected on the Stock Ledger. If there's a discrepancy between the balance sheet and the stock ledger, it's not possible to correct this in a closed period. The options are to either reopen the period, delete the journal, and create an Inventory Adjustment Worksheet, increasing the inventory valuation by SKU (if it’s not lot numbered), or keep the difference for that period and create an Inventory Adjustment Worksheet on the current period and a reversal journal. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
