I replicated the first step you provided above and it showed in my COGS account, jackals.
It'll reflect in your COGS account if you applied the billable time to a sales transaction (invoice or sales receipt) and employee's paycheck. For your Service item, when you checked the This service is used in assemblies or is performed by a subcontractor or partner box, you can associate your Expense account to COGS.
Create the Single Time Activity, and make it billable to the job. Enter an Invoice it'll show in your COGS account.
You can run the COGS account QuickReport to review the transactions. Let me show you how:
- Go to Accountant menu and click Chart of Accounts.
- Choose the COGS account and click the drop-down arrow beside Reports.
- Select QuickReport.
- Modify the details to view the transactions you need.
If you need anything else, please let me know.
