Closing Stock

If someone has a manufacturing business, how do I adjust the stock (materials) figures for end of year.

Hi Dawn,

To record an adjustment to the stock balance at the end of the year, create a General Transaction between the asset account and the appropriate expense account.

A simple way to keep track of your stock is described here:

However, some manufacturing businesses like to have separate nominal expense accounts for posting their opening and closing stock figures - see this page for an example of how to do this in Solar Accounts:
