[BETA] Change Completed Job Quantities

If you accidentally enter the wrong completed quantity on a job, you can correct it directly from the Job page.

1. Scroll down to the Operations section.
2. Click the ✏️ pencil icon next to the item you want to update.

This opens a window showing the related inventory transactions for that item. When you update the completed quantity, both inventory quantities and cost values are automatically adjusted.

Example: Suppose you completed a subcomponent job and entered the wrong quantity:

• Before correction
  • Reported: 10 units completed at $15 each → $150 total.
  • 8 units were picked to a parent item ($120), leaving 2 units in inventory ($30).
  • The finished good shipped with a total cost of $200, which included $120 from the subcomponent.
• After correction (actual = 15 units)
  • The same $150 total cost is now spread across 15 units → $10 each.
  • 15 units are added to inventory at $10 each → still $150 total.
  • 8 units picked to the parent are re-valued at $10 each → $80 total (a $40 decrease).
  • The finished good’s value also decreases by $40, which carries forward to the shipment cost.
  • You now have 7 units in inventory (instead of 2), worth $70 total.

❗Note — this feature requires the Roll Forward Job Cost Changes setting to be enabled. It works by retroactively updating both the quantity and cost of previously completed inventory. If you can edit the Actual Qty but don’t see all the related inventory transactions, check your Inventory Adjustment Cutoff window in Items & Inventory Settings. Only transactions within the adjustment window are available to edit.
