Saving pricing information in the accounting tab
Hello everyone,
I need some help please. I have been creating my listings on Seller Central bc I dont have a printer that is compatible with IL. This means I am having to manually enter the purchase price in the accounting tab. I cant figure out how to save it without having to toggle back and forth to another tab. Any suggestions? Also, is there a way to update the price in IL to it will automatically recognize the price I input for future sales? Any feedback is much appreciated. Thanks

Hey Gladys! Hopefully, other Sellers will chime in with their best practices to help, but I also wanted to provide some general information.
The easiest way to add purchase details (such as cost/unit or supplier) to your sales data is by adding it directly on the Inventory>FBA or Inventory>Merchant pages. This is because our system is designed to pull those details from the Inventory>FBA and Merchant pages, so the costs recorded there (or lack thereof) will override any changes made within Accounting>FBA or Merchant Sales for your Active and Inactive MSKUs. The only time you would want to update costs via the Accounting pages directly is if the MSKU is no longer in your Inventory.
Once the purchase details are saved to an MSKU on the Inventory page, it will save and update any past sales and apply them to upcoming sales, too. You can enter these costs manually or in bulk to speed things up if you have multiple items to update. Here are articles with steps for both methods:
Adding Individual Cost per Unit, Supplier, and Purchase Date Manually
Bulk Import Accounting Details into Inventory via .CSV
If you replenish items at different costs and want to track multiple costs for the same MSKU over time, those will need to be maintained manually and cannot be imported in bulk currently. If you'd like more details on Replenishments, here is a link directly to the portion of our User's Guide covering them for you:
