giving gifts from my business

I have a woodworking business and I made a couple of items that I gave away as gifts. I was wondering how I would account for these since it did use up some of my inventory that could have been used for products that could have been sold. If possible how would I record them in Quickbooks Self employed since I know that differs from the other Quickbooks sometimes.

 

Thank you

Mike

@mikeyco ,

 

For personal gifts that use business inventory, here's the accounting, regardless of what platform is used:

 

Receivable from owner   XX                      (increase of an asset)

Inventory                                 XX              (decrease of an asset)

 

When you replenish that inventory, use personal funds, and reverse the transaction.
