Spotting repeated wastage on one SKU.
Do this
Step-by-step
-
Open Consumption & wastage
Inventory → Control & valuation → Consumption & wastage. Set date range and department filters.
India example: HK issues 30 days · F&B wastage 2 kg rice. -
Benchmark against activity
High HK issue with flat occupancy → leak or over-par. High wastage → FEFO/purchasing fix.
India example: Shampoo issues +40% · occupancy +5% → investigate. -
Feed back into Reorder / SOP
Adjust reorder levels, train issue discipline, or change vendors/pack sizes based on evidence.
India example: Cut bulk herb orders · reduce Monday wastage.
Tips
Review top 10 consumed SKUs every month — that is where money moves. · Separate true wastage from normal issue consumption in discussions with staff.
Common mistakes
Punishing teams for wastage without fixing expiry rotation and over-ordering upstream.

Consumption reports start conversations — they do not automatically mean theft.
| # | What staff do | What they should see |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Consumption & wastage → HK · last 30 days | Shampoo spike. |
| 2 | Compare occupancy / room-nights | Only +5%. |
| 3 | Action: re-train par, lock cupboard, spot counts | Next month watch list. |
