Inventory Disposal View
The Inventory Disposal Detailed View records a single write-off — what was removed, what it was worth, and how the loss was posted. It is the evidence behind stock that left the business with nothing received in return.
Where to find it
Open any reference from the Disposals List.
Transaction Header
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Reference | The unique disposal number. |
| Location | The site stock was removed from. |

Line Details Tab
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Item | The product written off. |
| Batch / Expiry | The batch disposed of, where tracked. |
| Quantity | Units removed. |
| Cost | Value per unit, at standard or average cost. |
| Total | The loss recorded on the line. |
General Ledger Tab
| Account | Effect |
|---|---|
| Disposal / Write-Off | Debited — the loss hits your profit and loss. |
| Inventory | Credited — stock value falls. |
| Loss On Asset Disposal | An extra entry, raised only for fixed assets. |
A disposal of a zero-cost item shows no entries on this tab at all, because there was no value to write off.
Management Controls
Print produces a disposal record, often needed as evidence. Void reverses the write-off and restores the stock.
Attachments matter more here than on most transactions. A photograph or signed authorisation turns a write-off from an assertion into a record.
