How To Manage and Update Product Costs?
The Product Cost module allows you to assign, update, and manage cost values for your products.
Cost data is used to calculate profitability, so keeping it accurate is essential for reliable analysis.
Step 1: Open the cost management module

You can access cost management in two ways:
- Navigate directly to the Amazon Catalog module
- Click Update Product Cost from the Catalog after selecting products
If accessed from Catalog, selected products will already be pre-loaded.
Step 2: Select products to update

Inside the cost module, you can:
- view all products
- filter products based on cost status
- select specific products for updates
You can work with:
- individual products
- multiple products
- full product sets
Step 3: Choose cost update method

You can update cost values in different ways:
- manually entering cost per product
- updating multiple products at once
- uploading cost data in bulk
This flexibility allows you to manage both small and large catalogs efficiently.
Step 4: Enter or update cost values
For each product, define the cost value.
Cost represents:
- the unit cost of the product
- the basis for profit calculations
Make sure values are accurate, as they directly affect profitability metrics.
Step 5: Apply bulk updates

For multiple products, you can:
- update cost values in bulk
- apply changes to selected items
This is useful when working with large product groups.
Step 6: Save changes
After entering cost values, save your changes.
Once saved:
- cost values are stored in EVA
- they become available for analysis and reporting
Step 7: Verify updated cost data
Return to the Catalog or review within the cost module to confirm that:
- cost values are correctly applied
- products no longer appear as missing cost
Pro Tip
Start by filtering products missing cost, then update them in bulk to quickly improve the accuracy of your profitability analysis.
