sales is a component in debtors purchases is a component of creditors and inventory is inventory. how were these recorded in the first place, are you saying thses are balance day adjustments. if so the inventory reduces the cost of sales in the p&l and is shown in the balance sheet the sales increases revenue in the p&l and debtors in the balance sheet and the purchases increases the cost of sales in the p&l and creditors in the balance sheet
