The journal entry for waste typically involves debiting a "Waste Expense" or "Loss on Waste" account to recognize the cost associated with the waste produced. At the same time, an equivalent credit is made to the inventory or production account to reflect the reduction in usable materials. For example, if $500 worth of materials were wasted, the entry would be: debit Waste Expense $500 and credit Inventory $500. This helps maintain accurate financial records by accounting for losses in production.
