Notes on Inventory
There are two methods of accounting for inventories (or valuating stock):
1. Periodic (also known as Physical) Inventory
Items are bought and sold however; no record is kept of the number and value of items on hand.
Periodic Inventory is covered in Unit 5.
2. Perpetual Inventory
Items are bought and sold, AND a record is kept of the number and value of items on hand.
Perpetual Inventory offers the following advantages.
• The number and value of stock on hand is always available.
• The Gross Profit figure in the Profit and Loss Statement is accurate.
• Many inventory reports can be printed so that profit margins can be checked regularly; stock levels controlled, and stock shortages can be detected.
Accounts NOW will use Perpetual Inventory to track the following.
• The number of printed manuals on hand
• The number of printed manuals with a plastic pocket, data CD and Test Drive packed ready for resale (using the auto-build feature)
• The number of Software and Test Drives on hand.
Accounts NOW will use Periodic Inventory to record the purchase and sale of mouse pads. This item is often given to clients as a gift or used in the office.

Business Reporting Requirements
Following discussions with the accountant an Accounts List (also known as a Chart of Accounts) has been created to enable the following:
• On a monthly basis, a Profit and Loss (Statement of Financial Performance) can be printed so that the owner knows how the business is performing.
• On a monthly basis, a Balance Sheet (Statement of Financial Position) can be printed.
• GST reports on a Cash Basis and Business Activity Statement can be printed.
• Items Cards will be created to use Perpetual Inventory.
• An Item Card for Mouse Pads will be created using Periodic Inventory.
• Stock Levels will be monitored so that:
the business does not have too much stock on hand resulting in cash being invested in stock on the shelf instead of paying creditors etc.
the business does not have too little stock which means unhappy customers and loss of sales.
• Profit Margins can be identified.
The business has set up an AccountRight Plus company file called
Accounts NOW v2017 2018.myox which should be stored in the
folder you chose when downloading your files.

Creating Item Cards – using perpetual inventory
Accounts NOW want to track the following information:
• number and value of items purchased
• number and value of items sold
• number and value of items on hand
• items which fall below minimum levels on hand
• where items are stored
• average cost of each item (weighted average)
• profit margins for each item.
Before creating your item cards, item numbers must be considered.
Planning Item Numbers Designing your Item Numbers is very important. Some thought should be given to your numbering system before creating your Item Cards.
There is provision for 30 characters/numbers in your item number.
Accounts NOW’s numbering system is built on the basic design below – using 6 characters/numbers only.
The first character indicates if the item is purchased or is built: P = Purchased A = Auto-build
The second character indicates the type of item: M = Manual S = Software O = Other
The third, fourth and fifth characters will indicate the name of the manual or software. PFB = PALER for Beginners
The sixth character will indicate the version: 3 = Version 3
P
F
B
Note: Some businesses use the purchasing item number as their sales item number, however this can be a problem if the supplier changes the item number or the seller changes the supplier.
Sample

Based on the 6-character formula, the Item Number for Software - PALER Accounting V3 is:
PSPAC3 – This item number is meaningful to the owners.
P = Purchased
S = Software
PAC = Paler Accounting
3 = V3
You will see how perpetual inventory works when you begin processing sales.

Perpetual Inventory is used for all stock except for Mouse Pads which uses
Physical Inventory because these items are often given away as gifts and used
in the office.
An Item Card is set up for each stock item. Minimum numbers and re-order
quantities are entered to optimise stock levels and assist with automatic
reordering of stock.
PURCHASES
1 Each morning the Stock Alert report is printed. The printout is
handed to the manager who authorises which stock is to be ordered.
This printout acts as a Purchase Requisition.
2 Orders are generated automatically or keyed in and printed or
emailed to the supplier. The Purchasing Officer must always be on
the lookout for better prices from alternative suppliers.
3 A copy of the Purchase Order is sent to the Store. A second copy is
kept on file in the office. Each Purchase Order will be numbered
consecutively in AccountRight and missing Purchase Order numbers
must be accounted for.
4 The Purchase Order must contain a complete description of the
goods ordered and price including GST, delivery address and any
special delivery instructions.

5 When goods are received, the store person must check that all goods
received are in good order and condition. Goods must be checked
against the Purchase Order to make sure the correct goods and
quantity have been delivered. If a Packing Slip or Delivery Note was
sent with the goods, this must be attached to the Purchase Order
and forwarded to the Accounts Department. If no Packing Slip was
received, the store person should complete a Goods Received slip
and sign and attach it to the Purchase Order.
6 Any discrepancies must be reported to the manager. It is the
responsibility of the manager to contact the supplier, not the store
person.
7 If goods are to be returned for any reason, a Goods Returned slip should
be completed by the store person and forwarded to the Accounts
Department for entry into AccountRight.
8 Should there be goods on backorder; a copy of the Purchase Order must
be kept in the store noting the goods on backorder. When goods are
received, the Purchase Order is then forwarded to the Accounts
Department.
9 Any invoices received with the goods must be forwarded to the Accounts
Department immediately. It is the responsibility of the Accounts
Department to check the prices on the Tax Invoice and calculations and
attach the Tax Invoice to the Purchase Order on file plus the Purchase
Order and Delivery Note or Goods Received as proof of delivery of the
goods. The Purchase Order in AccountRight should then be changed to a
Bill checking prices, invoice total and enter the Supplier’s Tax Invoice
Number and invoice date.
10 A physical stocktake is to be taken at the end of January and end of
June.

AccountRight uses Weighted Average Cost. For example:
1/01/2019 45 CDs on hand @ $0.60 each
$27.00
10/01/2019 purchase 10 spindles @ $17.05 = $170.50 inc GST
cost price 10 spindles @ $15.50 ex GST
that is 250 CDs @ $0.62 each
$155.00
Weighted Average: 295 CDs valued at
$182.00
Weighted Average $182 divided by 295
= $0.6169
