Dear Mark,

Thank you for the reply on the matter. Since the item sold as Free of Charge and the account type is "Sale Income" how do I go about to belance this in my account as the actual item cost is 25.00?

Thank you

Regards

Hi Chong Loong,

The cost of the item is recorded separately when you purchase the goods. Allocate the purchase to the 'Cost of Goods Sold' account. If you have significan inventory at the end each month then record an adjustment as described here:
