Recording reduction in inventory value when stock marked down as reduced to clear
Hi Community
Maybe I am missing something obvious, but I am looking to cover the following business scenario by recording the financial implications to the RMS stock ledger:
I have a grocery item with a limited shelf life. The date when the item will reach its sell by date is different for different batches of the same item.
For example, today, 27th Feb 2014, I have two batches of stock for the same item in a particular store:
* 10 units with sell by date of 31 Mar 2014, selling price 2.99
* 10 units with sell by date of 03 Mar 2014, selling price 2.99
This gives be a stock valuation of 20 units * 2.99 = 59.80
