Questions, answered

Will it adjust my buying quantities automatically?

No. The report shows you the data and trends so you can make smarter buying decisions. Any order quantity changes are made by you in Komet Sales.

What if Komet Sales does not have a dedicated write-off report?

WebRun reads inventory adjustment records and marks them as write-offs based on the adjustment type. Let WebRun know which adjustment codes represent waste in your setup and it will filter accordingly.

Can it track waste from other sources like leftover event stems?

Yes. If you log those write-offs in Komet Sales or a linked sheet, WebRun can include them. Tell WebRun which records to include during setup.
