How to record inventory adjustment?

Hi, Fabio.

 

I'll be glad to help. However, I need more details to understand your issue or concerns fully. Which option two (2) are you referring to? Any additional information will help me offer an accurate solution.

 

I'm looking forward to your reply. Take

From the guy who posted the solution. 

2.  Post all purchases to COGS.  Periodically, but at least at the end of the year, you value the inventory on hand and do a journal entry.
debit the asset purchases account for that value
credit COGS for that value

Print the P&L
then reverse the journal entry
debit COGS for that same value
credit the asset purchases account for that value 

This last journal entry, moves the value of what was on hand at the end of year back to COGS so the cost will be counted against the new year sales.
