How do I enter cost information in DigitBridge?

Here is a guide for entering, updating, or just viewing product cost data using three different methods in DigitBridge.

Accurate cost information is essential for inventory valuation, margin tracking, and reporting. DigitBridge provides multiple ways to enter or update the cost of your products depending on your workflow.

This guide covers three methods:

• From the Cost Management page

• From an individual product record

• Through a P/O Receive entry

Cost is often entered at the time of receiving inventory via a purchase order.

Use this method when:

• Cost varies from order to order or vendor to vendor

1. Navigate to the P/O Receive Module

3. Open the Record

• Click the Receive # link to open the entry. In the P/O Receive Management screen, click the Edit dropdown to enable changes.

4.  Edit the Record 

• Enter Shipping, Handling, and Duty Costs
  • In the General section, input any relevant Shipping Amount, Handling Amount, or Duty Amount if applicable. These will contribute to your unit cost allocation.
• Enter Unit Prices for Received Items
  • In the Transaction Items section, locate the Price field and enter the unit price for each item received. This price updates the system’s cost record for each SKU.
• *Optional: Use A/P Options for Cost Allocation (see note below)
