Posting year end adjustment to inventory account

I am doing general journal entries for the accountant's year end adjustments.  There is one account that won't let me post, acts like a linked account, (it will not appear in the drop down menu).  The account is Inventory account, but when I look into the set up, there isn't any linked accounts.  There are a few inventory items that are in the inventory module.  I have never used inventory before so not sure if this is why I can't post directly to the 1044 Inventory account. 

Any ideas

    Account 1044 may be linked to one or more inventory items. If you go to Reports/Inventory & Services/Inventory Quantity Report and then in the Window that opens click on Inventory by Asset on the right side and all linked accounts will show. Highlight account 1044 and run the report. you will get a listing of all items with account 1044 linked to them. Before unlinking an account be sure of what the result will be once the entry is completed because it will probably throw your data integrity out of balance unless it already is and the entry is intended to correct the integrity.

    what is the entry adjusting ?
    can you accomplish it, using 'inventory adjustment' on one or more items ?

    When I go to inventory reports, there is only 6000.00, but the adjusting entry is for 20,000.00 I ended up making an new account that is called inventory adjustments, and just posting the amount to there. The accountant will have to figure out what is going on next year end, although I know more about Sage than he does, lol This is just the 1st time I have ever worked with inventory module in Sage in 20 years.

    In most case Article 10399 should able to help unlink it, however in some odd cases, it could be a flag issue, you can try to go to some link account module, see if you can find it, link it then unlink it to reset the flag. (if reset flag doesn't work, it is link somewhere)

    If indeed you cant find it or it is link to somewhere, article 10276   should able to help to post to linked inventory account.
