How to reconcile expense valuation type transactions against asset specific natural account?
This is to share a critical case for seeking technical guidance regarding the reconciliation process of expense-related stock valuation records with trial balance report.
To be precise about the activity, the supply chain team performed the subinventory transfer process within of the inventory organizations, whereby a number of inventory items were mistakenly moved from the asset-type source subinventory into the expense-type destination subinventory.
The accounting entries generated are noted below,
At Source level,
Dr. Offset A/C (Principal) 1,000
Cr. Inventory Valuation A/C (Principal) 1,000
At Destination level,
Dr. Expense A/C (Principal) 1,000
Cr. Offset A/C (Principal) 1,000
