To check does depreciation go in cost of sales?

Can not find in the book where it specifically says to do this it can't find anywhere else to put it on the profit and loss statement help aappreciated!

Thank you

Yes

When you depreciate assets such as production machinery, the depeciation expense is included within cost of sales.
Vehicle depreciation for vehicles used to distribute the products to customers would be a distribution cost.
Administrative costs can also include depreciation of appropriate assets.

So look at the assets which are being depreciated and charge the cost to the appropriate general heading.
