# COGS Analysis by Vendor

The COGS Analysis by Vendor report runs the amounts of specified COGS types for designated vendors over a selected period of time. This report compliments the COGS Allotment report because it provides further analysis into the COGS Types and the cost of each item by specific Vendor. The vendor listings also allow the User to dig into the COGS by including hot links to the invoices associated with each type amount.
