@user3, you are misunderstanding the accounting principles involved. When you create an inventory item, the `Control account` field is for the asset account you want the item to included in when it is in inventory. The default is _Inventory on hand_, but you might, for example, want it to be in an asset control account you create named _Imported inventory on hand_. The `Custom income account` field is where you tell the program to post sales of that inventory item to some revenue account besides the default _Inventory - sales_ account. For example, you might want to post sales of that same inventory item to _Sales of imported items_. Whether the item is assigned to the default _Inventory - sales_ account or some other income account you create, you cannot change it for any given sales invoice or receipt. All sales of that item will be credited to the designated income account. The `Custom expense account` field is where you designate some expense account besides the default _Inventory - cost_ account to post the cost of goods sold for that inventory item. Again, you might decide to post the costs of the imported item to an account you create named _Cost of imported goods sold_. Like the designated income account, you cannot change the expense account for a specific sale. Both the designated income and expense accounts can be edited later, but that will change all transactions related to that inventory item to the new accounts. This is not a transaction by transaction choice. The other legs of double entries for all transactions are handled automatically by the program. For example, if the sale of an item is posted to _Sales of imported items_ (a credit), the corresponding debit goes to _Accounts receivable_ and the customer’s subsidiary ledger. If, for some reason, you have a legitimate need to assign income from the sale of the same inventory item to different sales accounts for different sales invoices, you will need to choose a different accounting program. ---

So you are basically looking to track your sales revenue (per Inventory Item) from different regions by creating a CoA for each region? And I assume on the cost side you would also create a cost account per region in order to get your profitability per region, based on the individual inventory item?
