AdjustmentType for Manual is missing in SIM

getAjustmentReasonList API is unusable since there is no WMS screen to create Adjustment Reason at store level.

Alternate solutions:

- Use Common Code List to maintain adjustment reason. Maintained from Application manager

- Use Custom table to maintain adjustment reason in OMOC UI. Build maintenance screen for table

- Use hard-coded list of reason in OMOC. Requires code changes to add/remove reasons

The current SIM API to add/remove inventory does not capture Adjustment Reason Code and Reason Text.

Comparing the existing adjustLocationInventory API, we have a Audit tag in which we pass the above attributes.

The audit records the AdjustmentType as ADJUSTMENT along with ReasonCode and ReasonText.

There is a provision to pass adjustmentType in SIM API but is limited to the following adjustment types:

RECEIVING, SALE, COUNT, RECLASSIFICATION or RETURN

Because of this limitation we are not able to save the ReasonCode and ReasonText as references.

Expectation from IBM:

Add an additional AdjustmentType as ADJUSTMENT or MANUAL

How will this idea be used?

This is used in the manual adjustment process. Not having a manual adjustment type is a defect. We use it in 9.1.
