How do I adjust inventory for an item we are using in store?

The title of this post has been edited by a moderator provide a more searching question for our other sellers. 

I own a comic and game store. When our comics come in we bag and board them. We also sell the bags and boards, so they are on inventory. But when need to open a new package I have to remove them from inventory. The only options I have found are using other as a payment, with a note as to why, or a 100% discount, or an inventory recount. Other payment records tax, so that option is out, discount appears on sales reports. Constant inventory recounts look like there is an inventory problem. Is there no other option? Or am I overlooking something?

I would say the way you are dealing with this right now by doing the Other Sale, is probably the best way, but you'll need to just take the tax off the item before you check out.

You can do so by clicking on the Current Sale > Click on the Item > Toggle off the Sales Tax on the item > Check out the Sale as Other 

This will make your tax reporting correct, report your inventory reduction, and hopefully this is a bit easier for you to manage.

Can we please have an inventory option within stock received, recount, damaged, loss, of store use? We have a number of consumables for the store's use but we also sell them and I need to track inventory on them.
