Damaged Voucher

Write off broken or unsellable stock without losing track of the cost.

What it does

Damaged Voucher removes item quantity from stock specifically for damage or loss, keeping that reason separate from a general Adjustment Out. Posting it both removes the stock and generates a GL voucher.

How it works

List the damaged items

Enter the items and quantities being written off.

Pick the voucher sub-type

Select the account the loss is charged to - required before posting.

Post

Posting drops the quantity from stock and writes a voucher debiting the chosen account and crediting the company's transfer-credit account for the loss value.

The problem it solves

Breakage and spoilage are a normal cost of running a business with physical stock, but they need to be visible as their own category rather than blended into generic adjustments - a manager reviewing damage totals separately from other write-offs can spot a pattern (a bad supplier, a handling problem) that a mixed adjustment bucket would hide.
