In the past, the periodic method was used in commercial enterprises that have low-priced but high-circulation products, such as supermarkets, Kharazi, etc., but today, due to the existence of mechanized accounting systems, the permanent method is used in most commercial enterprises.

Advantages and disadvantages of periodic method:

Because in the registration of accounting documents, the inventory account is not used, it is inevitable that in the periodic method it is not possible to report the current inventory of goods, and according to the needs of business managers, even businesses with low prices and high transactions such as supermarkets, Kharazi And… according to Kardex goods report (goods circulation) and inventory report of individual goods, the method of permanent registration is a more suitable method for everyone.

Permanent registration method:

In the second method of recording the purchase and sale of goods, it is always recorded in an account called the inventory of goods, and accounts called the purchase and sale account are no longer used. So that when purchasing, the inventory account is debited by the amount of the purchase invoice, and when selling, the inventory account is credited by the cost of the sold goods.

Permanent document registration method:

When buying goods:

Inventory account: debit
