Hello. I can't seem to find COGS expense in the chart of accounts. Help!

Hi there, hermanovarietyst.

 

You may be experiencing some browser-related issues. Let's run some troubleshooting steps to locate the COGS account.

 

To start with, let's open QuickBooks in a private window. It is the best place to identify any browser-related concerns. You can use these keyboard shortcuts to open one:

 

  • Google Chrome: Ctrl Shift N
  • Mozilla Firefox: Ctrl Shift P
  • Microsoft Edge: Ctrl Shift P
  • Safari: Command Shift N

 

If it works, you can go back to a regular browser and clear its cache. A piled cache can also be the reason for some unexpected issues on the opened pages.

 

We can also switch to a different browser like Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Safari, or Microsoft Edge.

 

Feel free to take a look at this article for more information when recording COGS: Understand Inventory Assets and Cost Of Goods Sold Tracking.

 

Keep me posted if you have additional questions. Just add a comment below or mention my name.
