`ox_inventory:RemoveItem`

ox server documentation with a FiveM Lua example.

Summary

Removes an item from an inventory via ox_inventory's server export. Use it to take items when a player sells, uses, or trades.

boolean — whether the removal succeeded.

invnumber|stringThe inventory id — usually the player's server ID.

itemstringThe item name.

countnumberHow many to remove.

-- SERVER
local removed = exports.ox_inventory:RemoveItem(src, 'water', 1)
if removed then
  -- proceed (e.g. give money for the sale)
end

Always check the return — if the player doesn't have the item, removal fails and you shouldn't give the reward.
Do the remove-then-reward sequence server-side and check each step, or players can exploit it.
