Document Summary

As assets, inventories represent a future benefit over which the entity has control or access to. The purchase is the opposite side of a sales transaction. The purchase gives rise to the recognition as an asset. Inventory is recognized when the risks and rewards of ownership are passed to the purchaser (control passes to the purchaser) Legal title and possession signal the passing of control: legal title allows the owner to sell or pledge the inventory, possession allows the owner to use the inventory. With inventory purchases, sometimes legal title and possession do not happen at the same time. Purchases are usually recognized when goods are received. Exceptions: goods in transit, consigned goods, repurchase agreements, purchase commitments. Based on change in control and risks and rewards. Not recording a purchase but counting it in inventory. Not recording a sale in the current period although the items have been delivered.
