Hi there!
I was hoping someone could help out translating this word.
Context:
Shrink is unaccounted-for merchandise. This includes things that are stolen, damaged items that aren’t taken to claims, inaccurate deliveries, or items that aren’t scanned correctly.
pérdidas? disminuciones de inventario?
thanks in advance!!!!

depreciación
En contabilidad cuando se dan los caso que mencionas, entonces la mercancia o las cuentas por tales mercancias se contabilizan como cuentas de "depreciación", es decir que pierden su valor, su precio y entonces ya no son cuentas de "activo". Se deprecian.
