Revaluation of Inventory

Where inventory is revalued prior to finalising the shipment e.g. change in FX rate, price change in the stock lines, changes to import costs a journal is created on saving these changes.   Any stock that has been sold/transferred since book in posts the price adjustment to the Cost of Good Variance account – Inventory Classifications.  There is no impact on GST at this stage in the process and journal entries only apply to physical items.
