# Destruction reason/note

The Life Sciences Supply Chain Management module allows for the addition of Destruction reason and/or notes to inventory journals. The following fields are available in the **Header** view of inventory journals (**Inventory management > Journal entries > Items > Movement**, **Inventory management > Journal entries > Items > Inventory adjustment** and **Inventory management > Journal entries > Items > Transfer**):

- **Reason code**: a value can be selected from a configurable list (**Inventory management > Setup > Destruction reason codes > Destruction reason codes**).
- **Reason code notes**: free text.

Both fields can be used as filter and can be printed in the journal report by enabling the corresponding parameters within the **Print > Journal** screen.
