View Full Version : how to extract a portion of cost of goods sold as samples expense

Hi Anyone There,

We are a gourmet food company and giving out samples to potential customers is a recurring transaction for us. When a sample is sent out to a potential customer, I key in 1 unit sold under the Sales Invoicing Window but with zero price. This sales invoice transaction causes inventory to decrease and the cost of goods sold to increase which is correct.

My problem now is that the cost of goods sold for the samples are lumped together with the cost of goods sold for those invoices which actually reflect goods sold to customers (not samples) in one single cost of goods sold account (60010). Is there any way for me to extract the cost of goods sold for the samples so we can track how much samples are handed out every month?

Looking forward to any ideas!

thanks!

Associating a Job ID with the sample transactions would enable you to run Job reports isolating those transactions.
