Inventory basics - compactly explained

What exactly is an inventory?

The inventory ensures that assets and liabilities are fully recorded. It is the legal basis for accounting (§ 240 HGB) and also serves as a control: deviations such as shrinkage or theft become visible. It also provides reliable data for the valuation of the company and supports decisions in controlling, purchasing and financial management.

What types of inventory are there?

Companies can choose between different inventory methods. Each method fulfills the legal requirements and offers its own advantages: The inventory as at the reporting date impresses with its accuracy, the time-based inventory with its flexibility and the inventory sampling with its efficiency. This means that the right method can be found for different company sizes and processes.
