Explanation:

A periodic system of inventory can be defined as a method of financial accounting, that typically involves updating informations about an inventory on a periodic basis (at specific intervals) as the sales or purchases are being made by the customers, through the use of either an enterprise management software applications or a digitized point-of-sale equipment.

A journal entry involves the process of keeping the records of business transactions made by an organization.

The journal entry is used by bookkeepers and accountants. Ideally, it is important that a journal has all of following informations; date, reference number, debit balance, credit balance and transaction description.

In Accounting, most businesses use a double-entry account system and as such, the total amount debited must equal the total amount credited in a journal entry.

Once the adjusting entries are posted, the adjusted trial balance is prepared to verify that the debits and credits are in balance.
