Write off categories (stock settings)
You can create write off categories to monitor in more detail why stock is written off. You may want to monitor reasons such as damaged stock or faulty stock.
There is one default write off category, Written Off. This category uses the default nominal account Stock Write Off to post the value of the written off stock for profit and loss purposes. You can use this to account for all written off stock or you can create your own categories here.
