Under this system, all transactions pertaining to inventories are accounted for and journalized as charged to inventory account. Basically, some special journals particularly purchase journal are not involved in this system, In addition to this, what also make the perpetual inventory system different from periodic inventory system is that when recording sale of inventories since a cost of sale is set up of the cost of goods sold to customers. Lastly, there is no need of setting up an adjusting journal entry for the ending inventories since the cost of the ending inventories can be determined by strictly tracking the debits and credits of the inventory account, or in effect, through the use of the stock card. Therefore, physical count may not be necessary but is highly encouraged to allow matching of recorded cast andl actual cost. Summary Journal Entries under Perpetual Inventory System: 1.

However, for problem-solving purposes, if the problem is silent, periodic inventory system is more ‘assumed. 3.2.1. Periodic Inventory System ‘This system is the one usually followed when handling and accounting for the transactions involving inventories. Under this system, all transactions pertaining to inventories are accounted for and journalized based on the nature of the transaction. Basically, special journals, such as purchase journal and sales journal, are involved in this system. This system is presumed and assumed, ifand when the problem to be solved is silent. However, since there is no tracking of the cost of inventories due to the involved journal entries, a physical count is being conducted every end of the reporting period to establish the amount of remaining inventories. ‘Summary Journal Entries under Periodic Inventory System: 1, Torecord the purchase of inventories from suppliers.
