Question

COGS Stopped Tracking

I have a retail store and at the end of the day my POS system exports my day's sales to QBO. Along with the invoice it generated, I would get a journal entry that credited my inventory asset account and debited my cost of goods sold account. But it stopped working several months ago and I'm not sure why. I had chatted in to QB on the day that it stopped for something, but I can't remember what specifically (I've had a lot of issues), so I'm sure some manual setting was changed but no one can figure out what. My 'Products' were always set to Non-Inventory and it worked fine. My POS guy had me change them to 'Inventory' yesterday, but it still isn't working. Any insights from anyone would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your reply. Is there an article you could point me to for QBO integration with POS systems? My POS guys have set it up so my daily sales get imported into QBO as an 'Invoice' into A/R instead of cash receipts and then QB is applying the payments/deposits automatically to A/R. But things don't seem to be matching up and this seems to be causing a lot of issues. I've had so many people 'helping' - everyone with different ideas - that it's a total mess. I just discovered that my 'Payments/Deposits' are going into Uncategorized Income instead of A/R. I'm now trying to figure out how to change it back.
