Question re nominal codes for purchases and resale

We buy a product, let’s say milk, the invoice is posted to the purchases n/c 5000

We resale that product, eg milk, to another supplier at cost. 

Does the sales invoice go to the sale nominal 4000? 

How is stock and profit accounted for by posting to two different nominal accounts? 

eg. using our milk as an ingredient to produce a product to sell at profit v reselling the milk at cost?

    Hello, 

    Thanks for your post. You can record your invoices to whichever nominal code you choose, we recommend choosing the most appropriate nominal from the list. You can see the entire nominal list in the Chart of Accounts, where you can also add custom codes if you desire. 

    But going back to your question, we do have a really useful guide that shows how to manage stock movements that explores this topic in more detail: Managing your stock > 

    Thanks,
