How do i add Cost of my products in my products directory, the column of cost is there but there is no field available to denote that cost. P.S i use QB essesntials

It's nice to have you here, azaankazmi-outlo.

First, let me show you a virtual sample where you can add the cost of your products in QuickBooks Online (QBO).

1. Go to Products and services.
2. Find the product or service on the list and select Edit in the Action column.
3. Select I purchase this product/service from a supplier.
4. Add a description. This shows on bills, purchase orders, and other forms you send to suppliers.
5. Add the Cost. If the price changes, don’t worry. You can still enter the updated price when it’s time to buy supplies.
6. Select the Expense account dropdown and then the account you use to track the cost of things you sell.
7. Select your preferred supplier.
8. When you're done, select Save and close.

Learn more about managing product and service items in QBO can be found in this article: Add product and service items to QuickBooks Online.

If the field is still grayed out or won't allow you to enter a cost, you'll want to perform some basic troubleshooting. This can help us identify if this has something to do with your browser.

First, log in to your QBO account using an incognito or private browser. Since this doesn't store data in the cache, it is the best place to isolate browser issues. Kindly use either of the following shortcut keys:
 

• Google Chrome, press CTRL  + Shift + N
• Mozilla Firefox: press CTRL  + Shift + P
• Internet Explorer: press CTRL  + Shift + P
• Safari: press Command + Shift + N

Then try running adding the cost again. if works, you may want to clear the browsing history of your regular web browser. This will remove previously-stored browsing data that might have caused the issue. Otherwise, you can try using other supported browsers to be thorough.

Get back to me if you need help with something else. I'd be happy to assist. Enjoy the rest of the day!
