How do I add product cost (COGS)?
Add cost with an effective period and identify SKUs that still lack cost.
Updated: 24 August 2026
Before you start
- SKU identifiers matching sales data
- net cost and currency
- cost effective date
Steps
- 1.Choose cost import or a supported accounting source.
- 2.Map SKU, cost, currency and date columns.
- 3.Run validation without saving.
- 4.Resolve conflicts and unknown SKUs.
- 5.Approve the import and inspect coverage.
Expected result
Cost has provenance and an effective period. Unknown or uncovered SKUs remain marked as missing.
If something does not work
- Do not use current cost as history without an explicit decision.
- For multiple currencies, provide source currency or the appropriate FX rate.
