Profit and Loss Statement not showing Inventory Cost by Division

Regarding the divisions costs problem, note that the problem arose from the sales process. When reviewing the entry, note that what is recorded in it is the sales process and there is no cost of sales process (as was the case previously), knowing that the previous procedure was the correct one according to the perpetual inventory system.
This is why the problem cannot be solved by add a report.

As for writing off inventory, it cannot be considered as just reducing the quantity owned. It actually represents a general ledger operation.

Another feature that can be added that will help a lot is to consider the current division as a unit division (such as investment centers or branches) and add another division related to revenue and expense accounts and called a profit center or (cost center).

And a matter of advice, it is preferable to keep the allocated expense accounts as they were without including them in the obsolete feature. However, we have no problem with that because they still exist and have not been cancelled.

The mistake started from considering the inventory cost as an equation (COGS=opening inventory+purchase-closing inventory). This is used in the periodic inventory system and not in the continuous inventory system used by the manager.

I apologize for the long post and inconvenience. I am trying to help solve the problem and improve the system.

information from Production order and Inventory writes off not coming to p/l statements

Technically speaking production orders shouldn’t impact profit & loss statement (unless you have non-inventory production costs on production order). As for inventory write-offs not working with divisions, this has been fixed in the latest version (25.2.4)

I don’t have non-inventory production costs; I pay employees monthly.

If you have non-inventory production costs, then why are you expecting production orders to impact profit & loss statement?

As for inventory write-offs, if you have inventory write-off, then that would be visible somewhere on profit & loss statement. I’d start by drilling-down into Inventory - cost account to see if I see Inventory write-offs column there and what amount(s) it has.

We produce one finished item using two raw materials and then sell the finished item.

Since the sold items appear as income in the Profit & Loss (P&L) statement, why isn’t the Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) reflected?

Please provide a screenshot of one of the two inventory items Edit screen (complete screen please!)

When you drill-down into Inventory - cost account, what do you see? You should see list of your inventory items and how cost of goods sold was calculated. Can you show screenshot of that screen?

@Mahfuzur_Rahman what happens when you click on the - symbol for Inventory - cost account. Can you show screenshot for that?

@Mahfuzur_Rahman it seems like the issue is that all your inventory items have zero opening inventory, zero purchases. So there is no cost of goods sold.
