[SL] COGS and expense accounts

[Phil R. <ph...@bu...>]

Hi there,

I have the following account to keep track of expenses in our cafe that 
are goods purchased for resale:

5009 - Cafe Supplies for Resale		AP_amount,IC_expense,IC_cogs

Everything is normally done through AP transactions, with corresponding 
sales put through a separate "4001 - Cafe Sales" account that is 
configured as AR_amount, IC_income, and IC_sale.

Do I need to have a COGS account in this case?   Is it safe for me to 
remove the IC_cogs from the account?

I have asked my accountant for advice but unfortunately they can't give 
me advice on how to configure SL Ledger ;(

I would appreciate any assistance anyone can provide..

Regards
Phil
