Hi Dipak,

Many thanks for your valuable inputs.

Is change in COGM = Change in inventories of finished goods.

Is Work in progress = Opening stock

Is Stock in trade = Closing stock

Please confirm the above.

Thanks

Dear Anil,

When preparing P/L and B/s using FSE2 Financial Statement Version please assign all GL codes like under:-

COGM A/c

COGS A/c

Stock Difference A/c

Scrapping A/c

Inventory Diff A/c

Gain/Loss A/c

Price diff on stock transfer A/c

Sub Contract change in Stock A/c

Any other GL code which affects changes in inventory of Finished Goods also should be assigned to this group of GL codes whoose total indicate Accretion/Decretion of Stock in P/L statement.

Hi Alok,

Many thanks for your reply.

I maintained all this settings in Financial statement as per schedule VI,  But client requirement to show Opening/Closing stock in P&L

In this case, how to give better suggestion to them. I already explained the process of COGM/COGS. and the differences in inventory.

Can you  tell me any other better way to approach with client.
