Title: How can I get my inventory to reduce for the leader service pins?

This post is applicable in the Cloud database's Windows App as well as in the Legacy database.

Question: Is there a way to "award" leaders their service pins so that it will reduce my inventory?

Answer: Service pins are not created as "awards", so do not automatically reduce the inventory.  The service record is created, and the service pin checkbox is marked when the attendance criteria is met (Legacy database: Admin > Awards > Leadership Service Awards; Windows App: Admin > System Settings > Awards > Leadership service Awards).  The number of service years is also increased.

In order for the inventory to be reduced, an actual award would need to be created. Here is a way to do this quickly:

Instead of creating the award records, another option is to use the totals from the Leader grid to manually reduce inventory (6-yr service pins: reduce by 6).
