Using SAP....the solution which we had provided to the client is

Closing stock a/c Dr

Purchase a/c Cr

They are not ready for this entry.

SInce the company is only a dealer or trader, the Inventory Module in SAP cannot be used. So , amanual entry has to be passed

how to pass the manual entry....which accounts to be used???

For learning about transactions you have to go to the site www.freesaptutorials.com  details are available this website.

by the way your client using SAP sytem (Software) but entries are not paased in SAP is just surprising.

I think your client wants the entries for stock physically available, if so suggested entries are:

For excess stock;

Relevant stock item Dr.

Sundry purchases/stock adjustment a/c Cr.

For shortage:

Reverse entries to be passed.

Hope it will beneficial to you.

Please don't suggest stupid type entries to your client as u written down-

[Closing stock a/c Dr

Purchase a/c Cr]

Before any suggestion you should ask first to seniors because it will affect your personality and image.

 Please check the following :-

» Debit : Closing Stock a/c

Accounts representing assets are real accounts and show a debit balance. Since by recording the journal entry for bringing the value of closing stock into books, we are creating an asset by name "Closing Stock a/c" we debit that account.

[Closing Stock a/c – Real a/c – Debit what comes in.]

» Credit :

There are three possible variations in the account to be credited for recording the value of closing stock.
  1. Trading a/c
  2. Goods Consumed a/c
  3. Purchases a/c

The ledger account to be credited is dependent on which account is used to reflect the value of cost of goods sold as well as the time of recording the entry.

 

Thats the reason Closing stock Dr, Purchase a/c Cr...entry was suggested...

Would appreciate if proper language is used in the forum.

regards,

wnr

Dear,

You are trying to tell Fundamentals of Accounting that all true.

As for as language concerns stupid word was used for entry not for you.

Yes for creating closing stock GL and transfer entries in this GL is right way to go on website as suggested earlier.
