There is an opening debit balance on the inventory account of 180,000. We remove the opening balance by crediting the inventory account and debiting the SOPL We then create the closing balance for inventory by debiting the inventory account and crediting the SOPL. These entries are explained in detail in my free lectures on inventory.
