apply default costs

Using Square Retail

When I click bulk actions >review missing costs/vendor while in history I get a pop up message saying:

"Before you can apply default costs to 10001 stock actions, you must add a default cost for 1 item variation in your library. You can add default costs by importing your item library or manually editing the cost of each item variation. Apply default costs to past actions for accurate reporting and margin calculations."

I have exported all items and made sure default costs had a value in it. I can't seem to be able to find which 1 item variation needs a default cost.

Thank you!

Hey @javis- Sorry for the delayed reply. I had to run this by one of our Retail specialists.

He said usually this happens because there is a missing cost for a large number of deleted items. But it looks like there's a ticket open regarding this issue. He mentioned that he doesn't think there is an easy way to address this besides manually adding the costs for the received inventory in the past.

I know that's certainly not ideal. It might also be worth getting a hold of the Retail team to see if they have any additional workarounds for you.
