💡 Accountant's Note
Unlike wind or solar, biomass requires physical fuel. The purchased biomass is recorded as raw material inventory and expensed to COGS as it is consumed in the boiler.
Practitioner & Systems Framework
💻 ERP Architecture
Requires robust inventory management (weighbridges, moisture content adjustments). Biomass quality degrades over time, requiring potential inventory write-downs.
⚠️ Audit Flags
Auditors will observe the physical inventory count of stockpiles. Because measuring piles of woodchips is imprecise, they rely on aerial drone surveys or geometric volume calculations.
📄 Required Documentation
Weighbridge tickets, supplier invoices, inventory count sheets, moisture lab reports.
