COGS FAQ

How is the COGS quantity calculated?

Example; your bid file has an Inventory Multiplier of 25 pounds per case on Chicken Breasts. You Inventory 220 pounds of Chicken Breast.

The COGS report will take the inventory count for the raw product, plus the quantity included in prepped items, and divide it by the Inventory Multiplier (which in this case is 25) to get the converted Case Quantity:

You also can find the total quantity on your IvA report which shows:

Chicken, Breasts at 220 pounds, plus Chicken Marinated 68 pounds, divided by the Inventory Multiplier, equals the converted Case Quantity:

220 + 68 / 25 = 11.52 Qty

My reporting does not look correct, what should I do?

You will want to verify that the received date on your orders is correct and falling into the week you are expecting them to report in. 

You will want to review your COGS report and determine what ingredient on the reporting looks inaccurate.

Then you will want to go to Maintenance> Product> Ingredient Management> search for the item> hover over the line item and right click with your mouse> select Mapping Info> and review the price and bid file mapping. Make any bid file corrections if needed (and then run a DL Update for the COGS for the current week).

If the bid file price is different than the price on your COGS report then we can run a COGS update for you. If the Case conversion is not correct then we can run a COG update for you.

If you need a COGS update, you will need to provide all of the following information: the Ingredient, the Distributor, the DC Item #, what looks incorrect, what changes were made (to the bid file, if any), what locations to include, and what date to update back to.


COGS % of Sales:

  • Uses Net Sales or the Net-Net Sales from the DSR, this is dependent on Config 20.
