Quick Summary
This discussion explores how to adjust accounts when changing inventory valuation methods. It covers the impact on the Profit & Loss statement and balance sheet, suggesting adjustments to closing stock values. The consensus is that while inventory itself might not be directly entered through sales and purchases, its valuation change affects reported profit. Adjustments can be made via an inventory adjustment ledger or directly through the P&L and balance sheet entries.

Taking PL effect and adjusting the inventory
Adjust the difference in closing stock of inventories in
P/L and also in balance sheet by calculating the previous methods last balance of inventory and the current method of valuation because it is a change in accounting policy
Inventory adjustment ledger can be opened if there are multiple entries or entries are posted every month/quarter... then at the end of the reporting period route through PL.. see if there is gain or loss on valuation of inventory again

Do inventory is entered in books.

As per my opinion only sales and purchases are routed through books.

Value of inventory is entered as closing stock in Trading and P&L (cr item) and also in BS (dr item) nullifying the impact on TB/PL/BS.

If you change the method of valuation the impact is reported in notes to account per requirement of AS, and impact is not routed through P&L. Impact is automatically affect the PL and BS through "entered as closing stock in Trading and P&L (cr item) and also in BS (dr item)"
