How do I record stock wastage or breakages in Pluscentral?

In order to record stock wastage or breakages the below steps need to be followed:
1. Reductions
Reductions are used to record stock wastage or breakages. A reduction is a write off, this is usually done when stock items are expired or damaged and cannot be sold. This function will remove the stock items from the Store inventory, and Stock levels will be affected. The level of each item will be decreased in the selected store by the amount indicated in the "Sub Units" column of the Reduction. 
  1. To create a Reduction click on Processing -> Stock Processing -> Reductions.
  1. Click on the "Add" button when the Reduction header details window appears enter the Store where the stock has to be reduced from and select the allocation reason from the lookup list.
