Updated Aug 2026
If a product’s cost or margin looks wrong after buying stock, check the purchase cost and unit you entered. RushFlow values cost as stock moves, so an incorrect purchase cost or unit throws off cost of goods sold.
Step by step
- Check the purchase costOpen the purchase and confirm the cost entered per unit is correct (watch out for buying in a larger unit — see units of measure).
- Check the supplier price contextRushFlow shows the cheapest/last price — a warning flags an unusually high cost. See compare supplier prices.
- Let valuation catch upCost is valued as stock moves; after a corrected purchase, new sales use the corrected cost.
