Hi, @JudyC61. I'm glad to help you run a commission report that includes COGS in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT).

 

First, make sure to check your item list if you've selected COGS under the account for a specific item. This might be the reason why COGS never appear on the report. To do this, follow the steps below.

 

  1. Go to the Inventory menu and select Item List.


     
  2. Double-click an item.
  3. From the Edit item window, choose the Cost of Goods Sold under the Account.
  4. Click Ok

 

After that, you can run the Sales by Rep Detail report to track the commissions. This will show sales income from each sales representative and lists the sales transactions that contributed to each sales total. Ensure to customize the report and filter the account as Cost of Goods Sold. Then, hit Ok.

 

 

After customizing the report, I suggest saving the current settings by clicking Save Customization. That way, you won’t have to go through the customization process again in case you need the same information in the future.

 

You can also bookmark this article for additional resources: Set up commission payroll items and reports. It will guide you on how to track commissions paid to employees.
