From the mobile app:
Scan or search for the item in a location’s stock.
Click the three dots on the material and select Adjust Quantity:
From there, you’ll be able to select a reason for the adjustment.
From the web:

You can also do it using the bulk edit mode option:

⚠️ When adjusting from the web, Ply automatically uses "Adjustment" as the reason; you won't be prompted to select one like on mobile. If you need a specific reason logged (e.g., Damaged or Internal Use), use the mobile app instead.
