A periodic inventory system is an accounting method where inventory levels and the cost of inventory sold are determined at specific intervals, typically at the end of an accounting period. In a periodic inventory system, the cost of inventory sold is calculated by subtracting the ending inventory from the sum of the beginning inventory and purchases made during the period. This system contrasts with perpetual inventory systems, which continuously track inventory.
