Why the cost of goods may equal zero?

The cost of a product is indicated in the product card as the Purchase Price. In some cases, you specify the Purchase Price, but in reports, you see zero product cost. zero_cost_in_reports.png

It might occur in two cases. 

Case 1

Products were sold before they were received, or they were received incorrectly.

  1. In the Kladana workspace, select Inventory → Stock Movement.
  2. Click Filter. Specify the period and product for the search. Click Find.
  3. If the value in the Stock In column is less than the value in the Stock Out column, you most likely have sold more product items than you had. zero_cost_case1.png
  4. Click on the row of the product you want to see in detail.
  5. If the date of the Receiving is earlier than the date of the Shipment, correct the dates.
  6. If the product has no Receiving or Stock Adjustment, create missing transactions. zero_cost_case1_no_receiving.png

Case 2

In the Receiving or Stock Adjustment, zero unit cost of a product was indicated.

  1. In the Kladana workspace, select Inventory → Stock Movement.
  2. Click Filter. Specify the period and product for the search. Click Find.
  3. Click on the row of the product you want to see in detail.
  4. If the value in the Cost column is "0,00", correct it in the Receiving. Click on the Receiving transaction number and indicate the Unit cost value correctly. zero_cost_case2.png
  5. Click Save, and then Close.
