Fishbowl: "Set last cost to zero?"

PartPart editing

What it means

You’re setting the last cost entry for this part to zero. Fishbowl flags this as unusual because parts typically carry a cost value. This action may impact inventory valuation, cost tracking, or any pricing tied to part cost.

What to check

  • Verify you’re editing the correct part and that zero is the intended cost
  • Confirm this part should actually have zero cost (e.g., free material, rework, or non-inventory item)
  • If this is an active part, check how your inventory costing method (weighted average, FIFO) will handle zero cost
  • If this was accidental, cancel the dialog and verify the cost value you meant to enter
