How can I write off a stock value (various ice cream flavours that have melted

Thanks for sharing your concern with us, userqbo1.

I'll show you how to write off stock value of your inventory items in QuickBooks Online (QBO).

You can certainly adjust the amount of inventory you have on hand, to reflect any items or the ice cream flavours that were melted. Once you have an accurate idea of your current stock, you can use an Inventory Quantity Adjustment to record any shrinkage that may have occurred.

Please refer to the steps below to perform an Inventory Quantity Adjustment:

1. Select New ⨁.
2. Under Other, select Inventory Qty Adjustment.
3. Enter the Adjustment Date.
4. In the Inventory adjustment account drop-down, select the appropriate account.
5. Select the products in the Product field drop-down. (Note: The description and current quantity on hand will auto-populate.)
6. For each item, enter either a new quantity or a change in quantity.
7. (Optional) In the Memo field, enter the details about the adjustment.
8. Select Save.
