Normally, the Opening/Closing Stock process is done on a yearly basis but it can be done on a monthly basis if you follow the steps below.
- At the end of the “first month” do a Journal that transfers the BS Stock on Hand to the P&L Opening Stock - for this exercise I entered the Opening Stock as 1250.00.
- At the end of the “first month” do a Journal that takes up the value of the (closing) stock on hand
-
Then at the end of each month you edit (not create) the previous months closing stock Journal , (2) above, by changing the date and the stock values. Continue this process until the last month of the year.
-
In the next year you “start” the process all over again, at the end of the first month do (1) & (2) and for the next months do (3)
