Inventory write off for use in Salon

I appreciate you for coming back to the thread to add extra clarification about your concern, Salon225. With this, I'll ensure you can write off the products or move them to an expense category for the products you pull off the shelf to use in your service.

To start with, you'll have to create an expense account to track. Please follow the steps below:

1. Click the Gear icon ⚙.
2. Choose Chart of Accounts. Then, click New.
3. For Account type, select Expenses.
4. In Detail type, select the correct category.
5. Fill in the other necessary field.
6. Click Save and close.

Once done, I suggest creating an invoice for the item.

Here's how:

1. Click + New.
2. Select Invoice and complete the fields.
3. Select Save and close.

• Creating an invoice will reduce the item count in your inventory.
• Under Description and Memo, explain the action (ex. to write off Promotional Sample Invoice #).

After that, you can run a Profit and Loss report on an Accrual basis to use in the next process. You can open this article to see the steps on how to perform the process: Write off inventory items given as promotional samples.
