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
Gabbi
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
No, you’re not wrong – you are correct
Thanks a million
Best Regards
Gabriella
You’re welcome
