I am trying to set things up correctly in QuickFile and everything I read tells me that a direct cost sales commission (as in the amount of the commission depends upon the invoice raised) should be assigned to the nominal code of 6100, which again, I read is supposed to be a Direct Cost. But in my new QF P&L report it (6100) is being assigned to ‘Expenses’, not ‘Cost of Sale’. Am I missing something, or is there a way of assigning code to categories?
The section is defined by the nominal code - 0xxx is fixed assets, 1xxx and 2xxx assets and liabilities, 3xxx capital, 4xxx is turnover, 5xxx is cost of sales, 6xxx direct expenses, 7-9xxx overheads.
For the 6xxx range in particular, this normally appears below the gross profit line in P&L (along with overheads), but there is a toggle somewhere in the settings section to put it above the line (along with cost of sales) instead. I can’t remember offhand exactly where the setting lives but it’s definitely there, possibly under advanced settings.
Edit:
Thanks Ian. I looked in the advanced settings previously as I was fairly sure there must be a way of moving 6000s to direct costs (because my research suggested that this is where they should be), but I could not see anything helpful. However, it would seem that I need to be a power user to see the extra options, and as this was on my To-Do list anyway (in order to submit MTD data), I will now pay my fee and rise to the dizzy heights of ‘Power User’ 
EDIT: I could not see the images posted in your edit, but I have now found the relevant toggle called “Combine direct expenses with COS on the P&L report” thanks.
