Accounting:
A company's records are maintained by an accountant as they occur. Most transactions are maintained through an automated system. Entries or journal entries record balanced transactions between the balance sheet and profit and loss statement.
Recording Purchases under Inventory Management System:
- The inventory management systems are of two types: the perpetual inventory and the periodic inventory. Recording of purchases differs under both methods.
- Periodic inventory uses a separate account known as 'Purchases' to record all inventory inflows.
- Perpetual inventory records purchases in the inventory account directly and all movements of inventory are recorded on a real-time basis.
