To be able to remove any item from your inventory, you would have to go to Inventory >Vendor Return > +New Vendor Return
By going there and filling out the information, it helps you keep track of your items being taken out of your inventory for audit reasons. You have no obligation to insert ALL the information but the more accurate you are, the easier it is to have a trail.
For more information and a step by step guide, you can go to our Creating a Vendor ReturnPage on the Support website.

Does this apply to mistakes made when entering inventory? For instance, if we enter we received 18 of something, then realize we made mistake and adjust to 12, it seems to be still "counting" that as part of our assets??
Do we have to "return" every time we make a mistake in data entry for inventory?
If the items were added to inventory, then removed through the use of a vendor return, the Inventory received report will display the total you added that day with the PO number but also include a section to display the Remaining amount in inventory (currently at 7).
To reconfirm though vendor returns are independant of purchase orders as their primary function is to remove products from inventory whereas the POs add, so it would stand to reason that the report would display this value.

How do you differentiate a Damaged item then?
In INVENTORY - Vendor Return Reasons you'll create different reasons for a "vendor return" example: damaged, stolen, etc . . .
