For my inventory I assign a cost per unit (looks like yours is $100/unit).  That is a valid "expense" and can show up either as an expense item or as a reduction of sales.  I assigned mine as a reduction against sales (sub-account called COGS).  The other side of that entry is against inventory.

So for you, initially your inventory had $1000 in it (an asset account).  Each time you make a sale for $140 you also book a transaction to COGS of $100 with a reduction against inventory of $100.

After six units sold your inventory should show $400 balance.

I am slowly wrapping my head around things, kinda stuck on a question about accounting for unsold inventory. Say I bought 10 widgets, for 100 each, my cost of good sold is 1000; I sold 6 for 140 each. My sales is 840, but my cost of good sold is only 600, not 1000, How do I account for the 4 remaining in inventory.
