    Dear Mike,

    It is not clear the accounting treatment for good sold on return basis

    Let say that a company sell $1000 goods on return basis, cost 900

    Am I right to say that the accounting treatment is a follow?

    When goods are sold (shipped to the customer)

    Dr: Receivable 1000
    Cr Sale 1000

    Dr Cost of sale 900
    Cr Inventory 900

    At the end of the year if the customer has not confirmed to accept the goods

    Dr: Sale 1000
    Cr Receivable 1000

    Dr Inventory 900
    Cr Cost of sale 900

    Thanks for your help

    No!

    There is no entry to be made when the goods are delivered

    The first time anything is entered is when the customer tells us that the goods have been sold … ownership / risks and rewards have not been transferred

    Go from there!

    Thanks

    Should I use the same logic when we ship material to the customer consignment?
    I think so as the ownership / risks and rewards have not been transferred, but please correct me if I am wrong.

    Thanks Gabriella
