Inventory write-on: Journal Entry vs negative Write-Off

1

The guide at https://www2.manager.io/guides/20615 states the preferred method is using Journal Entry to write-on inventory then manually inputting a value. However, you can input a negative quantity value in Inventory Write-off to increase the inventory and Manager will automatically calculate the cost.

Is there a down side to using negative Write-Off?

No downside, only with Journal Entry you can enter the value of the write-on manually while with negative qty in Inventory write-offs the increase in value is based on existing unit cost.
