Owner contributions via inventory

SUGGESTED

I divided my company into 2 product segments and created a new company with a new capital partner. My contribution was through inventory (Raw materials, resale, and finished goods). This is a manufacturing company. On my initial contribution my employee input the balances in beginning balances, which does not reflect on the balance sheet. Do I need to add these in by manual inventory adjustments for the beginning balances or can I make an adjustment to the raw materials, finished goods, and resale by adding in the value and crediting my owner contribution account. Any advice on how the initial product contribution and how it should be entered is much appreciated.

Thank you,

    Hi  ,

    Since it looks like you are using Sage 50 US, I am going to move this post to that Support Group so that other users of this software will see it and can offer you their thoughts and insight.

    Thanks,

    Hi Cody, yes, you will need to make a corresponding journal entry as the BB function does not post the GL.  That is a nice feature as it allows you to bring in the subledger balances and then typically book a journal entry using the Trial Balance otherwise you would have to back out the subledger entries when posting the Trial Balance.  So in your case just book a journal entry, debit Inventory GL and Credit your Equity account.  Let me know if you need any other accounting or Sage assistance.  [email protected]
