Storage Operations (TTB)

In short: Storage operations is the TTB category covering spirits held in bond in the warehouse, reported on Form 5110.11. It tracks what goes into, stays in, and leaves bonded storage.

The storage report reconciles opening inventory, deposits, removals, and losses for spirits in barrels and tanks under bond. It must agree with physical inventory and with the processing and production reports. Building it from live barrel and movement data, rather than re-keying, is what keeps a DSP's monthly filings consistent.

What is the TTB storage account?

Storage is one of the three DSP accounts: spirits aging in bond, mostly barrels, live here between production and processing. The monthly storage report (5110.11) reconciles what entered, what left, and what evaporated.

What moves spirits in and out of storage?

Fills enter from production; dumps leave to processing; transfers in bond move between plants; and measured losses reduce the account. Each movement is a recorded event with proof gallons attached.

Tracking this in a spreadsheet? Spirit Sight records it where it happens and builds inventory, compliance, and the books from the same entry. See it on a demo.
