How do you account for damaged stock?

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Kein Shah 57

Here is a demo example. We have some inventory of 100 units of X item received in the system via purchase order. It is received in the system and accounted for. Now, 1 month later, out of those 100 units, 20 are damaged and need to be scrapped. No need of any credit memo to the vendor since it was damaged by us.  In this case, what is the best way to account for these in the system to that the stock is damaged stock is not shown in inventory and costs are also not shown on purchases? Should we just create a purchase order with -20 units? or what is the best way to consider damaged good?

Thanks,

    Thank you for your reply. I think the Item Journal options would work the best in my scenario.

    ZHU, the problem with a location is that you are still carrying on the balance sheet. If that's the desire, a location is great but if you want to just write off the damaged product, use of the item journal and specific general business posting group is super helpful.

    Hi, I have customers creating Damaged Locations to manage these stock.

    But if you don't need to manage these inventory in the system, you can use negative adjustment directly in item Journal or during physical inventory journal, etc.

    I prefer to use a Gen Bus Posting Group for SCRAP and direct that to a specific inventory adjustment expense account.  You can use a general inventory adjustment expense account.

    Then simply use an item journal, negative adjustment, the SCRAP Gen Bus Posting Group-if desired, your quantity (don't put negative quantity, you already chose negative adjustment)
