Overview
When stock goes bad — curd spoils, milk expires, a box is crushed in transit, or a platform sends a batch back for destruction — FSSAI wants a paper trail. Who threw it out, how much, by what method, and who watched it happen. The Disposal log turns that into one tidy record per event, so when an inspector asks "what did you do with the spoiled lot?", you have the answer on screen instead of in a register nobody can find.

You can read the guide. The actions it describes unlock when an owner adds this Pack in Billing & entitlements.
This is part of the Dairy Pack — a paid add-on. The Owner turns it on by installing the Dairy Pack from Settings; once installed, the Disposal log appears under Dairy.
Where to find it
Web only. Open the Dairy section in the sidebar and pick Disposal — the canonical route is /dairy/disposal. The Dairy section is visible to the Owner. There is no mobile screen for disposals; record them from a desktop or laptop.
The page opens on the last 30 days. The top of the screen shows three count tiles, then filters (date range, method, recall ID, batch ID) and a reason filter row, then the disposal table.
Key concepts
- Dual-witness — FSSAI requires a second person to witness destruction. Neev enforces it: the witness on a record must be a different team member from the person recording it. You cannot witness your own disposal.
- Disposal method — how the stock was destroyed: incineration, landfill, reprocessing, return to manufacturer, composted, animal feed, or other.
- Disposal reason — why it was disposed: expired, spoiled (visual), damaged in transit, platform return, recall, QC fail, or other.
- Linked recall — a disposal can point at a recall. When it does, it counts as the in-field destruction half of that recall, and the recall's destroyed total includes it automatically (the figure is summed across linked disposals at read time — no manual reconcile).
Common workflows
The record can also carry an optional witness signature or FSSAI certificate as evidence on the entry.
Role notes
The Disposal log is an Owner surface — the whole Dairy section sits behind the Owner sidebar, and recording a disposal needs the Dairy disposal-write permission that the Owner holds once the Pack is installed.
Owner records, lists, and opens disposal entries.
The witness named on a record is simply a second team member chosen from your team list. Being picked as a witness does not give that person any power over the Disposal log — they cannot record, edit, or open disposals from it. Only the Owner works this screen.
Tips & time-savers
When stock comes back from a quick-commerce platform for destruction, record the disposal here and pick platform return as the reason — that keeps the platform-return write-offs distinct from spoilage and expiry in the FSSAI report.
Gotchas
A disposal is the compliance record of destruction, not a stock adjustment — saving one writes a row to the disposal log; it does not itself decrement the batch's on-hand quantity. Reconcile the stock separately (a batch write-off on the inventory side). Still, double-check the batch ID and quantity before hitting Record, because the log is a permanent FSSAI trail: records are kept for the 60-month minimum and, in cold storage, are never deleted — this is a compliance trail, not a scratchpad.
