    Journal Entry

    At year end, when adjusting inventory, you debit or credit inventory. Is the other
    entry made to purchases??

    Thanks

    that depends...

    Did you purchase inventory?
    With cash? Credit?

    DR inventory, CR cash...
    DR inventory, CR accounts payable...

    Or is your adjustment to increase accumulated depreciation?

      Inventory is something available for sale. How can inventory be depreciated?

      Perpetual method?

        Simple Answer

        make sure all the other entries to inventory have been made. If your question involves the final entry to recognize a gain or loss by virtue of counting the inventory, the most common entry would be:

        Dr. Inventory (if there is a "gain")
        Cr. Cost of Goods Sold

        or...

        Dr. Cost of Goods Sold
        Cr. Inventory (if there is a "loss")
