Whether the material to be accounted with value when received inside company. When the sale is done the material value is to be added to Sales and 10% of material advance to be adjusted in bill amount ? In this case is it essential to account the material with value upon receipt of same from vendor ?

For 2nd option, if Customer buys the materials and consigns the materials from vendor location, what should be accounting and billing practice.

In both options if the material to be valued in inventory and price adjustment to be done while invoicing ?

For 1st Option. can the customer advance ledger, Cash account and revenue account alone can be made use of without adjusting the inventory account ?
Which method is normal and correct ?
