First, what is the proper way to reply / request to this email sequence? I follow the instructions at the end: "Please remember to CC this list on all your replies." "You can do this by using Reply-To-List or Reply-All." But only end up with "gnucash-u...@gnucassh.org" and get mildly chastised for not replying properly.
My tax accountant needed me to supply cost of goods sold, "COGS", but I have not figured out how to do this Current sequence: I schedule a visit with the client, and determine the likely need for a widget of some type. I purchase it ahead, and document with a Purchase order. At some point I receive it and log it into Inventory. Original attempt: Item Acct Dr Cr ------------------------------------------------------- Widget Payables $10 Inventory $10 -------------------------------------------------------- Payment Bank $10 Payables $10 Clean, but no COGS entry. My best attempt is this: Item Acct Dr Cr ------------------------------------------------------- Widget Payables $10 COGS $10 -------------------------------------------------------- Payment Bank $10 Payables $10 And when I get the part from vendor: Item Acct Dr Cr ------------------------------------------------------- Widget Purchases $10 Inventory $10 I am ok with the extra step, but what kind of account is Purchases? Is this even proper accounting? Thank you!
