Adjustments to Inventory Balance

The results of this count should be compared to the inventory balance (acct code A4002) in the Banner system. If these values agree, then no adjustment is required. If these values do not agree, then an adjustment to the inventory balance is required. Below is the journal voucher the department should enter to adjust the inventory account:
