Just to clarify (since we've had a little more time to research this)...

Softrak's Sales Analysis uses the standard cost os its cost for determining profitability (and as companies use standard costing to reflect their (guestimated) true cost of an item, I think we are using the right figure). If you are seeing only the $8 figure in your G/L, it is because you have set both the COG and cost variance G/L accounts to the same account number. If you set these to different account numbers, you will see that the G/L actually receives 2 entries, one for the standard cost and one for the cost variance. Over time, the cost variance account should move towards zero, if your standard costs have been estimated correctly.

So, the solution to the issue, is not to use Standard Costing, if you really want the moving average cost reflected in Sales Analysis.
