This Transaction should not be recorded as inventory until it is received because of FOB Destination. FOB Destination means that the title of the goods does not transfer to the buyer until the goods are received by the buyer.

Therefore your ending inventory needs to be adjusted so that this purchase does not appear in your ending inventory.
