Great question here! In QuickBooks when you create a sales transaction (Invoice or Sales Receipt) for a customer including inventory, then the customer pays, and the income is deposited, the transaction and inventory sold automatically hits your Cost of Goods Sold account in your Chart of Accounts, and adjusts the quantity on hand for those items that were sold. So once the sales transaction is completed, and you receive payment for it, the Cost of Goods Sold is automatically adjusted! For a detailed outline of how this works, you can visit the article that's paired with this video demonstration right here: (quickbooks.intuit.com/r/bookkeeping/cost-of-goods-sold/)! ^Faith
Open "Chart Of Accounts" then create new Account, choose Cost of Goods Sold. when you purchase goods that account goes in the expense/account box on the transaction. Then you report that on your tax return as an expense. Profit or Loss from business here in the United States.
Hi, thank you for the video, How do I link sales to the inventory so that every time I make a sale Quickbooks automatically reduces inventory. How do I record the cost of sales? thank you
Hello, Snothile! As long as you have inventory tracking enabled within your QuickBooks Online or QuickBooks Desktop account, QuickBooks will automatically account for the adjustments to your Cost Of Goods Sold, and Quantity On Hand for each Inventory Item that's sold once the sales transaction is processed and paid by the customer.

@@quickbooks If you setup the item as an inventory item (not a service item or non inventory item) then when you sell it, it will reduce inventory and record Cost of Goods Sold. Remember also to use this item on the bill you get from your vendor and not use the Inventory Account as the "category" on the bill.
Hey there. I have an article with some additional information to the video as to how to calculate cost of goods. Here;s the link: quickbooks.intuit.com/r/bookkeeping/cost-of-goods-sold/. All the best. -Kyle
I understand the calculation. I don't understand how to enter this appropriately into quickbooks. I believe this is what most want to understand. @@quickbooks
Still don't know how to use quick books to track.... Already know the importance
So how do you record COGS? This was just a basic definition of COGS

I'm having trouble inputting my COGs into my Commerce products to accurately see my profits.

Simple and clear.
We already know this. You should show us a demo instead 😒
Garbage. All talk no action. Why even sit in front of a lsptop when you don't cover any material on it?
This video literally doesn't tell you how to calculate and record COGS in Quickbooks. Waste of time.
