Agencies are responsible for any bottle breakage caused by Agency employees. Inventory Adjustments (IA) should not be entered for employee-related breakage or theft, as these are not allowable IAs. These losses must be addressed through the inventory audit process.

Agencies are required to maintain breakage records at the location level to support accurate cycle counts and to properly account for bottle shortages. If an immediate inventory adjustment is required, please contact the Liquor Enterprise Service Center (LESC). The Agency’s assigned Auditor will complete the adjustment.
