Before you can use this feature, you must set up an expense account for the DEAR WMS Integration settings in DEAR Inventory

  1. In the DEAR web interface, navigate to Integrations DEAR WMS.
  2. On the Warehouse Application Configuration page, select an expense account from the list, then click Save.


Once an expense account is set up in DEAR Inventory, you will be able to write off inventory from the DEAR WMS mobile app.


Writing Off Inventory

[back to top]


With a write-off task, the stipulated number of items of a given product is written off directly from DEAR Inventory. Thus, a write-off task updates the total number of items in your inventory and adjusts your accounts accordingly (transfers value of written-off stock to the selected expense account). 


Inventory can be written off by adding a write-off task in the DEAR WMS mobile app. For more information, see Add a Write-Off Task.


Write-off tasks that are still in Draft status can still be edited. For more information, see Edit a Write-Off Task.


Details of write-off tasks with Draft or Completed status can be viewed at any time. For more information, see View a Write-Off Task's Details.
