IAS-2 says nothing about purchase of inventory through PD Cheques. As far treatment is concerned inventory should be recorded at cost of Purchase when purchased.
The costs of purchase of inventories comprise the purchase price, import duties and other taxes (other than those subsequently recoverable by the entity from the taxing authorities), and transport, handling and other costs directly attributable to the acquisition of finished goods, materials and services. Trade discounts, rebates and other similar items are deducted in determining the costs of purchase.
Note that there is difference between cash price and credit price. Let's assume that cost of inventory is100,000.00. When we pay through cheque, we have to pay more money. How should that difference be accounted.
Inventory shall always be recognized at cost regardless of the payment through check or cash.
IAS2 deals with the Inventory
As per IAS2 inventory should initially be recognized at Cost
Cost = Purchase Price - Discount - Allow + Transportation Cost
Subsequently, Inventory should be reported at lower of Cost & NRV
While NRV = Estimated selling price - cost to sell
As far as PDCs are concerned, you have to keep memorandum record of PDCs, now a days there are certain ERP in which you can record PDCs, when you issue PDCs , you have to credit PDCs Account rather than Bank and afterthat you have to clear this PDCs Account
