Adding and Writing-off Inventory Items

This section overviews all methods of adding and writing-off inventory items.

Adding Inventory Items

Adding Inventory Items should be as follows:

1. If an item does not exist in your stock list, add it first.
2. If the item does exist, then use inventory transactions to add quantities to its stock.

Ways to add Inventory to Inventory items:

• Purchasing inventory items (see Purchase Orders, Receiving Transactions);
• Making an order to produce inventory items (see Production Orders, and Production transactions);
• Transferring inventory items from one location to another location (Transfer Transactions);
• Taking base inventory items with active disassemble recipes on charge – in this scenario, the components are derived after disassembling base items. Think a water bottle box is transformed into 6 or 9 water bottles (for more information, see Disassembling Transactions).

Writing-off Inventory Items

There are several ways to write-off inventory items:

• Returning inventory items to the vendor (see Return Transactions);
• Transferring inventory items from one location to another location (see  Transfer Transactions);
• A direct writing-off inventory items (for example, you can write-off some items because of a spoilage). For more information, see Write-off.
• Sale of menu items with active recipes.
