How can I show inventory adjustment prior to posting?

control + J does not show journal entry inventory adjustments? 

We had recently updated our Sage 50 to Release 2021.1. We are adjusting inventory and usually report would give JE # but not working. 

  • It still gives me the journal entry number when I am in single user mode as always.  It doesn't in multi-user mode.

    is that only in inventory? there is a parts person and accounting (me), does that me I have to be out?

    I am afraid I don't understand your question.  As you have asked it, I can answer three ways.

    What is your intent?  I was gently trying to tell you that the program has not changed and has never given a journal entry number before posting (yes, for any entry) when a user is logged in as multi-user mode.  The program can't tell you which is the next one when another person may post before you.  Therefore in the past you must have been in single-user mode or using the Pro version.

    I just can't tell right now if you are asking what your company's procedure should be or if you are asking how the program operates.

    I have no idea who is doing the adjustment, however the program will allow inventory adjustments in multi-user mode.  I don't really think that is a good idea for year end adjustments because average costs can be changed by any entry and generally people forget that you told them to stop making inventory entries after about 3 minutes.

    our system used to show a journal entry under Report -show entry now it doesn't show. Could be that it is multi-user. Question was how program works...got my answer. Thank you
