Inventory adjustment

PLS CLARIFY IN DETAIL.

I Mean when we purchase we debit Purchases A/c and

in sales we credit Sales A/c But we do not pass any entry to the Stock A/c then how come in the trading A/c and Balance Sheet stock appears ??? We do not pass any entry in stock A/c...

As far As i am concerned with the accounting. The Accounting for sales & purchases should be done in purchase books & sales books rather then journal book. just Customise your basic entry...simple

If you are in a service sector thn its ok to enter the vouchers in j.v but in order to effect stock whether trading or mfg firm. You are required to make changes in the basic entry.

I

I am not asking whether it should be passed in general journal or purchase/sales journal ,,,

just explaing me with the help of passing journal entries ... 

Dear Karthik

Purchase is our expense

Sale is our income

if u r making accounts with inventory in tally, then u manually feed all the opening stock a company has, the closing stock tally will calculate automatically considering openign stock and any purchase and sale u have made during the year.

in trading we consider the total of sales and substract the cost of goods sold from sale to ascertain gross profit.

i hope this clears something.

(journal entry)

Dear Karthik, please note that the accounts purchase and sale are in disguise of stock. Infact they are the accounts which affect you income, expense as well as the stock level.

If you are using Tally to make entries, then few configuration will help you enter stock in and stock out details when you want enter purchases. It can be so designed that the nature of voucher namely journal or purchase or sale makes no difference. Once you have to pass a purchase entry, it will manadatorily ask you what are the nature of stocks and which cateogory to be effected, accordingly you can pass an entry. Same follows in case of sales, if you have to pass sales entry it will ask you which stock is moving out. Balance amount of stock is well known which is shown in P&L and Balance Sheet.

If books are maintained manually, then you have purchase book, sales book and stock book to help you to manipulate stock levels.

In case of ERP, SAP and Oracle there are separate modules to monitor these requirements.

I hope your doubt is clarfied.
