You can activate the ![0 Invent WO tab](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/manager1/original/2X/5/52daf23bcc9ba9751b80a544b00abad6d5ecd442.jpg) tab and write off the balance or create a Journal Entry to do the same action. Also, possibly create a LPG Wastage expense account to keep track of it separately from Inventory - Cost ---

1. go to Setting \> Chart of Accounts and create the expense account LPG Wastage. 2. go to Inventory Items and write down the Total Cost figure next to the LGP item. 3. go to Journal Entry and complete it as shown below (I used 2000 as the Total Cost figure) ![0000000 Bug 2](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/manager1/original/2X/f/fbda54ff8ba8298c71516cc9d2b9ec74d8ecbb18.jpg) ---

Since your inventory differences will always be losses, I think you will find that inventory write-offs will be easier. See this Guide: [Manager Cloud](https://guides.manager.io/10709). ---
