Product Cost is a manually entered value and is used for the calculation of your Dynamic Minimum price and for reporting purposes. Cost is REQUIRED for the calculation of Profit Based price protection when creating a pricing strategy.
How to update cost in bulk
In order for the Profit Based calculation to occur for repricing you must input a value greater than $0.00 for your cost. If you leave the value of $0.00 for your cost your item will not reprice with a Profit Based Minimum selected for your pricing strategy.
- Prepare file in .xlsx format and create 2 columns. One column header with SKU and the second column with header Cost.
