Dear All
I have checked this post before but I think it is not the correct reply, becuase there is an account called "cost of sales", this account saves invoice cost when it is issued based on the Avarege Cost.
I may have multiple purchase costs for the same item, so purchase cost not the cost of sales. As far you know avarege cost always changing based on receipts , so you can't consider current avarege cost is the cost of sales for previous invoices. I am certain there is a table has the cost of sales for each line item invoiced becuase cost of sales account report has that information.
Regards

If items are purchased for customer jobs then you can match the purchase to the invoice. If inventory is purchased and sold, it's hard to say which item has which cost? That's why QuickBooks uses COGS. |

Sorry, I don't have a report by that name in my copy of QuickBooks. Please advise what standard report is this custom report based on? |

It is a standard quick report within chart of accounts for the cost of sales account. |

What I was saying was correct, but I was showing the COGS for each item, not the GOGS for the total number of items for each Invoice line. For example, this Account QuickReport:
If I run this query using the Quantity instead:
SELECT "InvoiceLine"."TxnDate" as Date, "InvoiceLine"."RefNumber" as Num, "Customer"."FullName" as Name, "InvoiceLine"."InvoiceLineDesc" as Memo, "InvoiceLine"."InvoiceLineQuantity" as Qty, "InvoiceLine"."InvoiceLineItemRefFullName" as Item, "InvoiceLine"."InvoiceLineRate" as Rate, "ItemInventory"."PurchaseCost" as Cost, "ItemInventory"."AverageCost" as "Average Cost", ("InvoiceLine"."InvoiceLineQuantity" * "ItemInventory"."AverageCost") as Amount FROM "Customer" "Customer","InvoiceLine" "InvoiceLine", "ItemInventory" "ItemInventory" WHERE ("InvoiceLine"."CustomerRefListID"="Customer"."ListID") AND ("InvoiceLine"."InvoiceLineItemRefListID" = "ItemInventory"."ListID") ORDER BY "InvoiceLine"."TxnDate"
I get a better representation of what my true COGS really is. But to get the GOGS for all invoices seen in your Account QuickReport you can run this report directly by using this QODBC stored procedure instead:
sp_report TxnDetailByAccount show Text, TxnType, Date, RefNumber as Num, Name, Memo, Debit as Amount parameters AccountFilterType = 'CostOfSales', TxnFilterTypes = 'Invoice', DateMacro = 'All'

In the first example you used current AVE. COST and this doesn't represnt exactly the COGS but the procedure given in the second exmaple shows the correct COGS values , my question is where in the second example the COGS saved ? which table ? I need to have a precise results .
Thanks

Only the Purchase Cost and Average Cost is stored in the ItemInventory table. In the second example I'm calling the QuickBooks reporting engine directly via sp_report TxnDetailByAccount using the AccountFilterType = 'CostOfSales' to get the same results as seen in the QuickReport. QODBC splits QuickBooks data into virtual tables and reports. Between the two areas, we can normally find what we need. |

I am also trying to find where the cost of good sold for an invoice line detail item is stored. |
