At the top of etc/trans_quickbooks:

[perl tables="products"]
	my $total = 0;
	foreach my $item (@$Items) {
	    my $cost = tag_data('products', 'cost', $item->{code});
	    $total += $cost * $item->{quantity};
	}
	$Scratch->{total_cost} = $total;
	return;
[/perl]

Now you can access it with [scratch total_cost].
