In “Edara”, you can handle damaged or defective stock items to ensure accurate stock valuation and the value of damaged items from actual balances. This helps maintain the accuracy of financial reports and reflects the real value of your inventory in the system.

2. [Code another party](https://help.getedara.com/en/articles/5240906-adding-another-party-in-the-warehouse-documents) in the issue offering document to charge the damaged goods to that party.
