# Adjusting Consumables Inventory for a Branch Office

You can adjust quantity levels of Consumable items at the Branch Office. However, before you do, you must lock the database. This prevents other end-users from creating Shipments or Transactions that will affect inventory counts at the same time.

To adjust Consumables inventory:

1. Click the **Tools** menu and select **Lock Quantify for Branch Office Adjustments**. An *Acknowledgement* dialog appears.
2. Click **Yes**.

Click the appropriate Consumables node (under the appropriate Branch Office) in the Organization Tree and click the **Adjust Quantities for Selected Location** button ( ![](https://cdn.document360.io/ae69c864-58f0-4711-91e1-d1c2f7dff95f/Images/Documentation/492bcd0f-7d51-4f0d-b342-12898c854cf0.png)). ![](https://cdn.document360.io/ae69c864-58f0-4711-91e1-d1c2f7dff95f/Images/Documentation/image-54IKCOM3.png)
