Inventory Discard

Q: Inventory Discard

How can I quickly remove damaged inventory from stock? The inventory discard feature allows a user to remove items from stock that have been damaged and can no longer be sold, or otherwise cannot be removed from inventory. Say for instance, that an item to be sold happens to fall off the shelf and break. Because it is broken, no one will want to buy that item making it useless for you to keep around. But if you were to just throw the item away, your inventory numbers would now be incorrect. Using inventory discard you can remove the item from your inventory without having to manually create an inventory adjustment, allowing more users to be able to discard that item. To keep track of the discards, Inventory Discard will post the discarded item to the inventory discard default account from default accounts. First you will need to select the Product ID of the item that you wish to discard. If you do not know the ID for the item, you can search for the item in your inventory using the search button. You will then need to specify the number of pieces and the unit of measure of the item that you wish to remove. Next select the warehouse from which you will be removing the item. Then you will need to fill in a reason for discarding the item and select your name from the Employee Name drop-down list (It may be faster to begin to type your name into the box and then press enter when your name appears). Lastly click 'discard' to remove the item from your inventory.
