Compare tracked inventory with the ledger account balance

Investigate entries outside the stock register before adjusting either side.

Updated 2026-11-11

Inventory valuation compares Tracked stock value with Inventory account balance and displays Ledger less tracked stock. The ledger side can include posted entries that are not linked to tracked products, while pending stock journals are excluded from the report.

Choose Account comparison and inspect the relevant inventory account. Open its source entries and compare them with the product movements at the same cutoff date. Look for acquisition or adjustment entries outside the register before concluding that a stock movement is missing.

Manual adjustments and opening balances require separate reconciliation. Do not record an unsupported stock receipt simply to force the difference to zero, and do not remove a valid ledger entry without understanding its source.

After identifying the actual cause, use the workflow that owns the incorrect or missing event and refresh the dated report. Preserve the original evidence and any correction links. A numerical match is useful, but it is not certification that opening stock or the complete inventory history has been captured.
