Costs
Maintain direct costs, supplier contracts, fallback rules, and cost import audit history.
Import costs
Use manual SKU edits for one-off fixes and CSV imports for bulk updates. Preview mode validates files without writing to the database.
- Download or follow the CSV template.
- Run Preview first and review errors.
- Use Upsert for normal updates and Replace only when intentionally rebuilding a full batch.
CSV format
Direct cost files must identify each variant by SKU or Shopify variant ID and provide a positive cost amount with a valid currency code.
- Keep SKU values exactly aligned with Shopify.
- Use three-letter ISO currency codes.
- Review audit downloads after large imports.
Coverage and exceptions
Supplier contracts and fallback rules reduce missing cost gaps, but direct SKU cost should remain the most trusted source when available.
- Use supplier contracts for vendor-level defaults.
- Use fallback rules for product type, vendor, or tag assumptions.
- Review missing coverage before trusting report margins.
