Inventory - Biomass FuelAsset (+)300,000.00-
Accounts PayableLiability (+)-300,000.00

💡 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.
