Write-offs record the consumption of materials or products not directly associated with production.
For example, you might use work gloves during manufacturing. While you can't include them in a product's components, you still need to account for their usage. Write-offs are perfect for this purpose.
Similarly, if some products are defective, you can use the write-off function to remove them from inventory.
Adding a New Write-off
You can add a write-off in three ways:
-
Click the "Add" button to create a write-off from scratch.
-
Create a write-off by copying an existing one. Open any write-off and click "Copy".
To edit a write-off, open it by clicking its number in the main list, then click the "Edit" button.
Write-off Details
Date
The date when the write-off occurs.
Number
The system will assign a number automatically, or you can specify one yourself.
Items
Specify the materials or products you are writing off and their quantities.
Notes
You can include any information that might be useful to you in the notes section.
Files
You can attach images and other files to the write-off.
Storage Location
If you have multiple storage locations for materials or products, you'll be prompted to select which location to remove items from.
Link to Production
You can link a write-off to a specific production run. This will include the cost of the written-off materials or products in the total cost of that production run and its manufactured products.
If the linked production includes multiple products, the write-off cost will be distributed among the products proportionally to their cost. If no cost is specified, it will be distributed proportionally to quantity.
