💡 Accountant's Note
Inoculants such as mycorrhizae are raw materials used in the cultivation process. These costs are initially recorded as inventory and absorbed into the value of biological assets or WIP as they are applied to the crop.
Practitioner & Systems Framework
💻 ERP Architecture
Use a bill of materials (BOM) to automatically move supply inventory to WIP during the rooting phase.
⚠️ Audit Flags
High volume purchases before year-end without corresponding increase in plant count.
📄 Required Documentation
Purchase receipt and safety data sheet (SDS) for the biological product.
