Log waste
Record wasted or spoiled stock with a reason so variances are explained, and keep an eye on items about to expire.
Waste that is logged explains a variance. Waste that is not logged looks like a loss.
Before you start: stock write access for the outlet.
Log waste
- Open Stock › Waste (the old Shrinkage link goes to the same place).
- Click Log waste. Choose the item, the quantity and the unit.
- Pick the reason: spoiled, expired, prep waste, dropped, over-production, or another controlled reason.
- Submit. The balance reduces and the entry appears in the waste table with your name.
You can also log waste from an item's detail page under Stock › Items › Log waste.
Review waste for a period
The waste table has period chips (today, this week, this month) and a reason filter. Use it before a stocktake to see what has already been explained.
Watch expiry
Stock › Expiry lists items expiring in 2,anddays with Expired, Today and Soon badges, based on the expiry dates recorded at receiving. Use it to plan prep and promotions before stock is wasted.
