Periodic Inventory system is an inventory system in which an organization updates the closing inventory balances in general ledger when it conducts physical inventory count. All purchases are recorded in purchase account and when physical counting is done then balance is transferred to inventory account.

FIFO method (First In First Out) is the most using method of
LIFO method (Last In First Out) is the method in which the quantity which purchase in last before sale transaction will be sold first. In closing inventory the quantity will be counted from the beginning inventory and purchase thereafter.
Weighted Average method is the most commonly used method after FIFO method. In weighted average the quantity of all purchases and beginning inventory is clubbed and then a weighted average rate is calculated and closing inventory is valued at weighted average rate.
