Reporting Explained: Cost Reporting- COGS Detail

Business Need: This report is helpful for F&B customers using COGS for tracking inventory. It allows clients to see a detailed breakdown of their COGS accounts in relation to sales, purchasing, physical inventories, and manual adjustments. 

How it works: COGS Detail reporting allows you to see the total cost for all COGS departments between a selected period. This information is pulled from all sections of Yellow Dog that effect your inventory. Each section is totaled and grouped based on how the inventory was entered into or adjusted within your inventory. For the most accurate data you will need to make sure all purchasing documents (within your selected date range) have been received, transferred, returned, etc. You will want to verify your sales are correct when compared to your point of sale records. Also, any physical inventories will need to be committed for adjustments to be displayed. If you notice variances in this report investigate these areas for needed corrections.

Generating the Report: To generate this report items must be mapped properly to the correct COGS accounts. Incorrect mapping will cause data to report inaccurately. For more information on setting up COGS please see What are COGS?
