Hello there, @lisa118
You can create a non-inventory item of the wasted product and manually track their quantity.
- Go to Sales.
- Select Products and Services.
- Click Add new.
- Select Non-inventory.
- Enter the name of your new item.
- Select the appropriate accounts.
- Click Save.
From here, you can manually create a journal entry if your items are about to be wasted and to track their quantity. You can also contact your account for additional assistance.
Lastly, here's a few articles you can read to help manage your products and services: Inventory management for QuickBooks Online.
Keep me posted in the comments if you have any other questions. I'll be here to help.
