What is "COGS (Accrual) by Product"?
The Cost of Sales (COGS) by Product metric measures the total cost incurred to produce and sell a specific product. It includes the direct expenses such as materials, labor, and overhead costs. This metric helps businesses to understand the profitability of each product and make informed decisions about pricing, production, and inventory management. By comparing the COS by Product with the sales revenue, businesses can determine the gross profit margin for each product and identify areas where they can optimize their operations and increase profitability.
Example: COGS by Product can show the profitability of a specific product line or service offering in QuickBooks, helping a business identify which products or services are most profitable and adjust pricing or strategies accordingly.
