How to write off expired stock

Until you write it off, an expired batch is still counted in your stock and your stock value. Writing it off records the loss properly and clears the warning.

Steps

1. Open Batches. Batches past their date show the Expired status. The Dashboard banner also links here.
2. On the batch's row, click the write-off action.
3. Confirm.

Jogan records an Expired movement for the quantity left in that batch, costed at the item's average, notes which batch it was, and marks the batch Written off. The item's stock falls by that amount.

Writing off part of a batch, or non-expired stock

The batch write-off removes everything left in the batch. For a partial loss, or for damage and waste unrelated to expiry, record a Waste or Damaged movement on the Stock page for the quantity concerned; it is drawn from the oldest batch. See How to correct a count or record waste.

Seeing what you have written off

• Batches: the Written off tab.
• Stock or Reports → Stock movements: filter by the Expired type to total losses over a period.

Reducing write-offs

Check Reports → Expired / Expiring or the Dashboard banner before each production run and use the oldest stock first. Jogan already draws from the oldest batch automatically; the report tells you what to sell or cook through next.
