To edit a cost of an item you must have either full admin or manager role. Its important to note that editing the cost of an item is against the best practices for inventory management. If your BusinessMind is integrated with Xero this cost change will not adjust your integrated xero accounting which you will have to adjust your manually.

To change the cost of a sku follow the below directions

  • From the BusinessMind home page click on Inventory.

  • From the View Skus area click search for the SKU you want to modify.
    โ€‹

  • Click on the SKU you want to modify to display the detail view.

  • Click into the Cost field and choose Enable Editing.

  • Modify the Cost and click the Save icon.

  • When you click save you will be prompted to confirm your change by entering the SKU of the item you are modifying. Enter the SKU exactly as it appears on screen case sensitive.

If your role does not have permissions to change the cost you will need to contact a system administrator (someone with permission) to assist you. They can do this directly from your terminal by

  • Clicking on the gear icon and choosing the Allow Privileged Actions option

  • BusinessMind will prompt your administrator to enter their user credentials.

  • This will unlock the cost field so that it can be edited.

  • Click on the cost field and click Enable Editing

  • Modify the cost and click the save icon.

  • When you click save you will be prompted to confirm your change by entering the SKU of the item you are modifying. Enter the SKU exactly as it appears on screen case sensitive.
