Prior to preparing the end-of-month report, what must be done with unused and non-perishable galley items?

• A. Document by CG-4246 The Issue/Sales Slip
• B. Return to dry stores and document on inventory using ADJUSTMENT FORM CG-3114
• C. Dispose in galley trash
• D. Do nothing until next cycle

Answer: (D)

The key idea is to keep the current month’s inventory accurate by not altering stock records or disposing items during the closing process. For unused and non-perishable galley items, nothing needs to be done before preparing the end-of-month report. These items remain in place and are accounted for in the next cycle’s inventory activities. Making a note, returning items, or disposing of them at month-end would prematurely change the locked-in inventory status and could skew the current month’s totals. By waiting until the next cycle, you ensure that any adjustments, if needed, are handled through the proper cycle-based procedures.
