Hello there, @JodyB1.
Let me step in and assist you with your concern.
If your transactions in July and August are not yet reconciled. You'll have to delete your purchase were your new main component is not included and add your new main component in the group item. Then, you can recreate the transactions to show the COGS in the report.
You can follow these steps on how:
First, is to delete the transactions were your new main component is not included. Here's how:
- Go to the transaction you want to delete.
- Click the Delete button.
- Select OK to confirm the action.
You can also read this article to help you delete multiple transactions: Batch delete or void transactions in QuickBooks Desktop Accountant Edition.
Next, add your new main component in your group item.
- Go to the List menu, then Item List.
- Select the Group you want to add your new main component.
- Click the drop-down arrow in the item line.
- Choose your new main component you want to add.
- Hit the OK button to save.
Once done, you can recreate the purchases again.
However, if your transactions in July and Aug are already reconciled, you can do mini-reconciliation. After that, you can delete the transactions. Then, add the item in the group and recreate the purchases again.
I've also added an article to help you customize to pull up a specific report. Then, memorize it to save the modification settings on your profit and loss report:
