Welcome to the Community, @rudney_rmd.

 

It's possible that you created two Cost of sales account with different transactions. Let's verify the accounts in your Chart of Accounts and run reports to see the transactions.

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Click Accounting from the left menu, then select Chart of Accounts.
  2. Find the Cost of sales accounts from the list.
  3. Under the Action column, click Run report.

If the transactions are not supposed to be on the other Cost of sales account, open each transaction and change it to the correct account. This way, it'll show only one Cost of sales account when running your Profit and Loss report.
