Log and review wasted stock or products with a reason, quantity, and unit so losses are tracked over time.

Wastage | Forkto Help Center

Wastage Records lets you log anything that had to be thrown away — spoiled ingredients, over-produced food, damaged packaging — and keeps a searchable history so you can spot patterns and report on losses. Find it in the sidebar under Records → Wastage. Available if the Wastage module is on for your account.

Logging a wastage entry

Select Log Wastage in the top-right corner.
Choose a Wastage Type * — Ingredient, Meat, Packaging, or Prepared Food.
Optionally, pick from the Stock Item dropdown to pre-fill the item name from your stock list.
Enter the Item Name *, then the Quantity * and Unit (kg, g, portions, units, liters, ml — or units, boxes, bags, rolls for packaging).
Select a Reason * — Expired, Spoiled, Damaged, Overproduction, Customer Return, or Other.
Add any Notes if useful.
Select Log Wastage to save.
