Perpetual inventory

In business and accounting/accountancy, perpetual inventory system or continuous inventory system describes systems of inventory where information on inventory quantity and availability is updated on a continuous/real-time basis as a function of doing business.

In this case, book inventory would be exactly the same as, or almost the same, as the real inventory.
