Revenue is recognised when substantial risk and rewards related to goods has been passed on from seller to buyer. In case where inventory has been transferred but seller possess the substantial risk and reward than revenue will not be recognised and such transfer will be considered as stock transfers and not sale. In such cases the buyer will not be principal but instead he will act as agent of seller.
