The COGS on my Profit and Loss Statement is not running correctly.  It includes BOTH lines corresponding to each sale (as it should) AS WELL AS lines corresponding to each purchase from our vendor (which it shouldn't).  Have I checked a wrong box somewhere?

 

Example

01/07/2018   Invoice 17-101 Customer Product A     Accounts Receivable 300.00
01/23/2018   Bill 2935             Vendor     Product A     Accounts Payable       300.00

 

Thanks!


Are you using inventory type items for product A?

 

Your example is not complete in terms of the accounting.

you purchase the item and the accounting entry is to increase A/P, and increase either the inventory asset or an expense.

 

A sale of inventory means several things happen, not just an increase to a/r
