Oops , I take that back, there is a classified income statement under Reports>Income Statement. If you do not have ic_cogs specified in the chart, then the account does not show up in the cost of goods sold classification. You definately want it to show up there ( from an accounting standpoint) so that you can get an accurate gross margin. So you need to leave it in. Sorry for the first response. Margot
