# Adjust on-hand quantity and transfer items between locations

Two tools keep your stock counts accurate across locations.

To correct on-hand counts, open an item's menu on the Inventory page and choose Adjust Total Quantity. The modal lists each location holding the item, with your default location first.

Type the new total quantity for any location; an inline indicator shows the change from the current count, and a Total row keeps the combined figure up to date as you edit. Where a location has job reservations, you'll see how many units are reserved and how many are available, and you can expand that location to view the reservations.

Add an optional note explaining the change, then click Save. Save stays disabled until at least one location's count actually changes, and only the locations you changed are submitted.

To move stock, click Transfer Items in the Inventory page header. Choose a From (origin) and a To (destination) location; one of them may be left blank, but not both, and they can't be the same. Search for items to add, set a quantity for each, and add a note.

With an origin selected, the search disables items with none available there, and each selected item shows its available quantity, capped at what's on hand. Save once your locations and item quantities are valid.

Both tools save immediately; there's no separate confirmation step beyond Save.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://learn.withessential.com/field-operations/inventory/adjust-on-hand-quantity-and-transfer-items-between-locations.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
