Marking Expenses for Cost of Goods Sold

Feature

In version 3.5 of Goldenseal accounting software, you can mark any expenses to show up under Overhead or Cost of Goods Sold in the Profit and Loss report.

Suggested By

User feature request.

How to Use

When Goldenseal fills in the P&L Report, it uses the Job Class field to determine where expenses will go.

• Any expenses with Overhead as a Job Class will go "below the line" in the Overhead section.
• All other expenses will go "above the line" in the Cost of Goods Sold section.

If there are specific expenses that you would like to move to a different place in the P&L Report, follow these steps:

1. Enter the expense transaction as usual in a Material Purchase, Subcontractor Cost or Other Cost.
2. Click on the Applies To popup field, and enter Cost of Goods Sold or Overhead.
3. Finish entering the expense.
4. Goldenseal will put the expense into whichever area you selected. It will ignore the Job Class field.

Technical Details

We actually added those popup menu choices in version 3.4 of the Goldenseal construction accounting software, but forgot to add the code to make them work! Thanks for the feedback from an eagle-eyed user.
