Inventory valuation assigns a monetary amount to stock using a selected, applicable valuation basis. Quantity and value are distinct: correctly counted goods can still carry an incorrect financial amount. Inventory reporting therefore distinguishes physical and financial quantities and values.[1]
Specify included costs, posting states and the reporting date. Do not simply multiply units by the current selling price. Reconcile valuation with the accounts and investigate unprocessed receipts or invoices before treating discrepancies as inventory loss.
