Every Resize is **fully reversible**, ensuring mistakes can be corrected safely. *** ## **How to Access** Open the main menu → **Inventory** → **Bulk Updates**
Click the **yellow + button** to begin a new Bulk Update.

#### **How It Works**
Toggle StateBehaviour
OFF (default)

Hides all inventory items.

Once you edit or add quantities to items, toggle the list off again to only display the times you have chosen to update, adjust or modify.

ONDisplays every inventory item in the yard, allowing you to browse, search, or edit any component directly.
This helps reduce on-screen clutter during stock take operations by showing only the relevant items you are adjusting. #### **Recommended Use** Toggle **ON** → All components are visible
Select items and apply Edit Qty values. Toggle **OFF** → Only the items you edited remain visible, making review simpler before approval
#### **Specify Components Being Modified** **Decrease the original component** Enter a **negative value** into Edit Qty.\ Example: * Cutting 3M Standard → Enter **-1** **Increase the resulting components** Enter **positive values** for each new component.\ Example: * Producing one 2M Standard → Enter **+1** Resize supports multiple outputs from a single input.
> **Note:** \ > If you need to resize a component **into a component that does not yet exist in your inventory**, you must **add the new component into the system first**. > > Only once the new component exists can you: > > 1. Select it in the Resize table > 2. Enter the **positive Edit Qty** to add the resized quantity into that stock > 3. Resize movements can only increase inventory for **existing component records**. > > If the target component hasn’t been created yet, it will not appear in the dropdown, search bar, or table. {% hint style="info" %} [Learn how to add a new component to the inventory](/inventory-management/inventory-overview/add-new-item.md) {% endhint %} *** ### **4.
