Why does the In-Store Inventory Account need to be a Liability Account?
Q.  Why does the In-Store Inventory Account need to be a Liability Account?
 
 
A:    The IPS inventory does not carry any value until pulled to a kit.  This is why it needs to be a Liability GL account.  Because at the time you pull the inventory to a Kit, is the first time a transaction is created in the system and at that point in time the IPS stock that you issued to the kit becomes a liability that you owe to the Supplier per contract.
