Direct inventory refers to the goods that a company holds for sale that are directly tied to its core operations. This includes products that are ready for sale or in the process of being manufactured. Direct inventory is essential for managing supply chains and meeting customer demand, as it directly impacts a company’s ability to generate revenue.

Inventory is capitalized on the balance sheet as a current asset. Inventory is increaseed by items purchased (direct materials or finished goods), costs incurred in creating a product (for manufacturers), and an allocation of overhead to the creation of the product.

This refers to the loss of inventory due to factors like theft, damage, or errors, leading to discrepancies between the recorded inventory and the actual inventory on hand. However, if you meant a specific financial transaction involving inventory, the term could also be "cost of goods sold" (COGS) when referring to the direct costs attributable to the production of the goods sold by a company.
