You may use Production order feature in Manager to create finish goods as stock items ---

You can’t just release goods from inventory as batch updates. You need to enter some form of accounting transaction, either a production order, an inventory write-off, a sales invoice, or a receipt. ---

@hfathy, generally you either use Inventory Items **or** you use Inventory OB + Purchased - Inventory EB - you can’t use both, read this lengthy topic [Inventory accounting using Opening Stock + Purchases - Closing Stock](https://forum.manager.io/t/inventory-accounting-using-opening-stock-purchases-closing-stock/5252) With F&B, inventory has quick turnover and/or it is mixed - buy coffee beans but sell coffee drinks. Therefore, if you want to do costings then it is better to setup spreadsheet calculation sheets. ---

> [@hfathy](#): > > I would like to use Inventory but how can i move inventory to cost of sales with out sales invoice You can’t but you can move the inventory to cost of sales if you use a “zero value sales invoice”. You only list the used inventory quantities on the sales invoices without entering any sales values. Read this topic: [Periodic Manual Inventory Adjustment](https://forum.manager.io/t/periodic-manual-inventory-adjustment/7524) Using a bar as an example, it sells drinks as spirit nips. At the end of the day / week / month, you would create a “zero value sales invoice” for the quantity only of empty bottles counted for each spirit. ---
