Accounting for "Goods Sold on Approval" or " Sale or Return" Basis:
Goods are sometimes sent to the customers on approval basis. Goods sent on ‘approval’
means goods sent to the customers with the option to the buyer to retain or return the goods
within a specified period. The ownership of the goods is passed only when the buyer gives his
approval or if the goods are not returned within that specified period.
When the Businesssends goods casually on Sale or Return :
When the transactions are few, the seller treats the transactions as an ordinary sale. If the
goods are returned a reverse entry is passed to cancel the previous transaction. If, at the
year–end, goods are lying with the customer entry for sales made earlier is cancelled and the
value of the goods with the customers treated as closing stock.
