Cost of sales accounting compares the sales revenue for a given accounting period with the manufacturing costs of the deducted activity. The expenses are allocated to the commercial functional areas (production, sales and distribution, administration, and so on). Expenses and revenues that cannot be assigned to the functional areas are reported in further profit and loss items, sorted according to expense and revenue type.
With this type of grouping, cost of sales accounting identifies where costs originate in a company. It identifies the economic reason for a particular expense.
