    It is not clear as to what you are referring.

     

    Gross receipts (gross sales) and gross profit are generally different. The cost of goods sold is subtracted from gross receipts to arrive at the gross profit figure. Beginning inventory plus purchases less ending inventory equals the cost of goods sold.
