How is periodic inventory conducted?

Periodic inventory is conducted by taking a physical count of inventory at specific intervals, such as monthly, quarterly, or annually. During this process, the quantities of goods on hand are recorded, and this data is used to update inventory records and calculate the cost of goods sold. Unlike perpetual inventory systems, which continuously track inventory levels, periodic systems rely on these counts to assess inventory status and financial performance. This method can be simpler and less costly, but it may provide less timely information about inventory levels.

And since requesting is already asking for something, it is redundant to use both "may I" and "request".
