Inventory adjustment for breakfast expense at hotel

It’s great to see you in the Community, orenmarciano.

Based on the details provided, you’ll have to set up the products (inventory) and then create an expense account to efficiently track the transactions in QBO.

This process will help adjust your inventory and move the Cost of Goods to the expense account. Here’s how:

1. Go to the Gear icon at the top and choose Products and Services to open the All Lists page.
2. From there, click New in the upper right to access the Product/Service information window.
   
3. Tap the Inventory icon to input the item details.
   
4. Type in the correct expense category and income account.
5. Fill in the remaining fields.
6. Click Save and close/Save and new.

To enter an expense account:

1. Go to the Accounting menu on the left panel and choose Chart of Accounts to open the All Lists page.
2. From there, press the New menu to view the Account window.
3. Choose Expenses for the Account type and then select the correct category in the Detail type drop-down.
4. Enter a term that will easily identify the account in the Name field.
5. Fill in the remaining field boxes.
6. Hit Save and close.

Next, create an invoice each time you provide the breakfast buffet and pick the item previously created. Then, enter a journal entry to clear the income, credits the customer in Accounts Receivable, and credits Cost of Goods to record the Expense.

To continue with the process, follow the recommended steps in the Write off inventory items given as promotional samples article. Then, proceed directly to the Create a journal entry section and continue up to Apply the credit note.

Additionally, the following article will guide you about monitoring products. It also contains a video for visual reference: Set up and track your inventory.
