More commonly, there is one post for the sum of the inventory items sold. However, this method offers some flexibility if you want to split up cost of goods or maybe you have separate inventory accounts for different inventorytypes. For that reason, I like it.
Why thank you, I'm glad to hear some agreement/validation for my designs in this area. Of course, they really aren't my ideas just an application of ideas from:
1. The Data Model Resource Book, Revised Edition, Volume 1 (accounting, party, and other related areas)
2. the OMG GL interface specification3. various books on accounting, including the accounting and supply chain books at http://docs.ofbiz.org/display/OFBADMIN/OFBiz+Related+Books 4. the proposed OMG AR/AP interface specification, that lost backing in 2003 (if I remember the timing right), just looked it up and that is right, here is some info: http://ledgerism.net/ARAP/arapxml.htm
Anyway, those are good sources for understanding the whys and wherefores behind accounting in OFBiz, and a bit of history as well.
