The following sequence is applicable for a manufacturing
business:
1. A business at the beginning of the financial year has stock of raw materials stock
(production inputs that have not been converted, or are not in the process of being
converted, to finished goods), work-in-progress stock, and finished goods stock that
is ready to be sold to retailers.
2. The business will usually purchase raw materials either on cash or credit from
suppliers. If a supplier lives a considerable distance from the business,
carriage/import duties/shipping fees may be applicable and must be added to the
purchases. If the business is unsatisfied with the raw materials, they will return it to
the supplier.
3. The business sends a portion of their raw materials stock to the factory.
4. The factory starts a process of converting the raw materials into production outputs.
5. The factory sends the goods that they have finished at the end of the year to a
‘showroom’ where retailers can purchase the goods that they have processed.
6. Retailers purchase goods from the showroom.
7. At the end of the financial year, there will be raw materials that have not been sent
to the factory on hand. There will still be products that are still in the manufacturing
process on hand, and lastly, there will still be goods in the showroom on hand.
