    Hi omfwil,

    NAV calls it Cost of Good Sold (COGS), and it is recorded to the account defined in the General Posting Setup for the combination of Gen. Bus. Posting Group (which is assigned to the Customer you are selling to) and the the Gen. Prod. Posting Group (which is assigned to the Item being sold).

    As different Customers may have different Ge. Bus. Posting Groups, and different Items may have different Gen. Prod. Posting Groups, you may need to set up multiple General Posting Setups, each with their own Cost of Goods Sold account.

    On a side note, depending on how your setups, you may find that the Cost of Goods Sold does not post to the General Ledger immediately after posting the Sales transaction. It may require running the Post Inventory Cost to G/L "report" (periodic activity).

    Or you can turn on Automatic Cost Posting from Inventory Setup. There are some considerations about how that will impact performance (depending on your volume of transactions).

    I hope this helps. If my response has answered your question, please verify by clicking Yes to "Did this answer your question?"
