What is the perpetual inventory system?

The perpetual inventory system is an inventory system that records whenever stock is sold or received, using an automation process that records in real-time.

The implication is that the perpetual inventory system will record changes in inventory at the time the transaction takes place and not at the end of the accounting period, say month-end.
