26 October 2010 Dear sir,

The closing stock value (Inventories) in balance sheet as at 30-09-2010 is US$ 70,0000.

But the actual stock value after the physical stock check is found to be US$ 60,0000.

How to write off the difference US$10,000 from the balance sheet as at 31-10-2010.
US$10,000 worth items are actually not in the stock.

which entry to be passed to write off US$10,000.

26 October 2010 Debit "Difference on stock take"
Credit "Stock"

In the P&L, closing stock will be shown at $60K and $10K will be shown as exps

In the BS $60K will be shown.

26 October 2010 I am not sure which ERP you are using. It is advisable to consult the ERP consultant in this case.

If the system does not allow journals in stock then you may be enter closing stock as $60K first. This will automatically adjust the consumption as opn stock + purch - closing = stock consumed / expensed
