How does a perpetual inventory system is differ from a physical inventory system?

Answer:
A perpetual inventory system relies on using documents on an active, day-to-day basis for a precise report at any time; a physical inventory system is a more rarely-used approach to doing an actual count using the goods to document reports; it is done periodically to confirm the theoretical numbers offered by the perpetual report.
