Recording Inventory on Hand (Closing Stock)

Do you have inventory on hand? 
You will need to account for the difference between your opening and closing inventory values. 

To ensure that you report your Inventory Value accurately:

The value in the Inventory Opening Balance Account is included as part of your Inventory Value. Because this account is displayed on your financial reports
in a separate line, you will need to process a journal entry to account for the difference between your Inventory Value and these opening balances.

Inventory Value – Inventory Opening Balance Account Value = Difference to be accounted for (the Closing Balance entry).

This closing balance entry is processed as a journal entry.
