Thank you for your reply,

Im using KMM 1.05 from the Fedora 13 repositories.

I was assuming that you could go to Accounts / Business / Expenses /
Cost of goods and enter a transaction for the cost of a product sold.
Perhaps Iam wrong in that assumption. As I said, Im not an accountant
pro here <grin>. But Im trying pretty hard.

Thank you,

coffee
