Hi everyone,

I’m experiencing an issue with inventory COGS in Manager. When I sell **part of my inventory** , the system records the sale amount (customer is debited), but **no entry is posted to Cost of Goods Sold (COGS)** — the COGS remains $0.

However, when I sell the **entire inventory quantity** , Manager posts the COGS correctly.

Things I’ve already checked:

- I’m using **Inventory Items** correctly (not expense accounts)
- Inventory has **quantity and cost available** before the sale
- Inventory location is consistent across purchase and sale
- Costing method is **Weighted Average**
- Inventory item type is **Inventory Item** , not service or non-inventory
- Using the **latest version of Manager**

I even tried small write-offs to clear any rounding issues, but it didn’t solve the problem.

Has anyone experienced this? Could this be a precision/rounding bug? Would switching to FIFO help?

Thanks in advance!

I noticed that if you are using starting inventory only, the cost is not deducted unless you set the Sales Invoices to check “Act as Delivery Note”.
