Cost of goods sold doesn't post when I use journal entries method for sales

1

Dears,
I apologize if I’m writing in the wrong forum, but i really need some help.
recently I joined a restaurant company, it has so many branches ( division ) and so many pmt methods cash, bank transfers, mada ( local pmt network ), visa and master, and so many other delivery apps ( customers )

the process starts from the factory to produce semi finished products to transfer it to branches.
at the branch there’s another production process in order to have a finished product.
till here everything works great.

what I have a problem with is I don’t want record sales for each branch and for each payment method separately, it will be almost 100 entry per day.

I used the chatbot to explain the idea of cogs using entries
here’s example

as per the chatbot , this method should calculate cogs and post it according to the cost.
I made sure that the production is made on or before the selling transaction. I made sure it’s in stock.
this method reduce qty but doesn’t post cogs amount.
I tried it with other items , same problem.

meanwhile , when I use receipts to record sales ( the way manager meant to be used ) it records cogs with no problem.
but for 15 branches and 7+ pmt methods , it’s undoable

Journal entries are not going to create cost of goods sold entries. It’s meant for raw account adjustments rather than recording sales.

You could use Inventory Write-offs tab to capture what was sold.

Thanks for your prompt reply,

so basically, I will use journal entries to record sales for different divisions and different payment methods , and use the write offs to reduce inventory and to post cogs.
