Non-COGS are all the other costs that are not directly involved in the production of goods and services. For example, rent, utilities, managerial salaries, advertising costs, distribution costs, administrative costs, and costs involved in the day-to-day operations of the business.

Cost of goods sold refers to all the expenditures directly associated with the production of goods. COGS analysis is crucial for a business in evaluating how efficiently a company is managing its resources. It is an essential aspect of a company's financial statement.
Non-COGs expenses are the opposite of COGs and entail utility expenses, managerial expenses (salaries/wages), advertising and marketing expenses, etc. Costs not directly involved with the goods' manufacturing process are not included in COGS.

COGS and non-COGS are both important for your business and must be recorded separately. Failure to that your financial statements will indicate wrong information.  COGS are the costs involved in producing your products or services like direct material and direct labor. 
While, non-COGS are all other costs involved in the running of the business except COGS, for example, administerial expenses,  selling and distribution expenses, and operating expenses.
