Inventory usage
Inventory usage takes stock out for use inside the business, such as cleaning materials, samples or staff meals, or because it was wasted or spoiled. Its cost goes to an expense account.
Open Inventory›Usages, or use + › Inventory Usage.
Record usage
- Click New and choose the branch and the warehouse.
- Set the Date and the Reason: Usage, Waste, Spoilage or Other.
- Choose the expense Account to charge, or leave it empty to use the Inventory Usage account from Preferences.
- Add the items and quantities. For batch items, choose the batches, for example the expired one you are throwing away.
- Click Record Usage, or Save as Draft.
The stock leaves the warehouse at its cost, which is posted to the chosen account. A posted record can be cancelled, which puts the stock back. A draft can be deleted.
Use a separate expense account for waste and spoilage, so the reports show how much you lose.
