The company values inventory both in cost terms and NRV. Then it considers which ever is lower. Eg. if you purchased computers for 10,0000₹ and want to sell them immediately because you want to buy another one. Currently, your inventory after few days, the market selling price is down to 9,0000₹ it is a loss to you when you sell it. To record this loss, this philosophy is used to value inventory at lower of cost or NRV.
Cos 90,000₹ - closing inventory balance @ NRV
NRV loss write off 10,000₹ Loss is debited to revenue
Inventory 1,00,000₹ - Inventory always recorded at historical cost or NRV

Please note that on the balance sheet, only revalued inventory value is recorded. The above entry is just an example on how a loss is recognised. Sent a PM with examples

Hi sry made a mistake
usually the adjustment with cos is like
By Inventory a/c
To COS a/c
(cos reduced by closing inventory)
so
By Inventory a/c 90000
To Cos a/c 90000
By NRV loss write off a/c 10000
or simply
Cos a/c 10,000
To Inventory 10,000
note. Adj made again. I’m giving up. Some help appreciated eon entries.
