Cost of goods sold is not recorded at the time of sale under a periodic inventory system. Instead, the cost of goods sold is calculated periodically, such as at the end of each month, by figuring out the beginning inventory, adding new purchases, and subtracting the ending inventory. This periodic system means that the income statement may not match the timing of actual sales.
