Why Use Product Write-Off?

Write-offs are used to remove items from inventory that are:

  • Damaged

  • Expired

  • Lost

  • Used internally (non-sale items)

  • Donated or discarded

This ensures your inventory value and quantity are accurate and financial records reflect real business conditions.


How to Create a Write-Off Entry

  1. Item to Write Off
    Select the inventory item you want to write off. Only stock-managed items (added after Inventory Plus activation) are eligible.

  4. Click "Run"
    The system will:

    • Deduct the quantity from stock management.

    • Record a COGS transaction using Weighted Average Cost.

    • Post an expense to the selected account.
