Using offline inventory to track samples/waste

Is there a way to use offline inventory to track samples that are provided to us and waste that we are not going to have replaced by the supplier? I have tried using offline inventory and have created reason codes but what do I do with the items once they have been moved offline? All I seem to be able to do with them once they are there is print a purchase invoice or something. I would like to have a list of these offline items that I can export to a spreadsheet every now and then to track waste and used samples... most likely monthly. Any advice on this situation? Is there another way to track this or am I trying to do something that offline inventory wasnt designed for?

Thank you,

In the offline inventory view you have buttons to add items to offline, send items in offline back to your main inventory and transfer out from offline (on this last option your items get removed from the offline inventory and "thrown out" via a standard transfer out)

If you're not charged for the samples there is no reason to track them at all in RMS (unless you need to or are required to track these samples) - if the latter is the case you can create the sample SKU in the item list with a price of zero and a cost of zero, receive them as you normally would - when you give them away on a sale simply list them on the sales transaction - no real need to send them to offline; the offline inventory is primarily to temporarily track items that you don't want to track in your main inventory

Thank you for the reply.

That was exactly the explanation I need that I wasn't getting in the help file.
