Fishbowl: "Part Standard Cost must not be negative"

What it means

Standard cost is the baseline unit cost used for inventory valuation and accounting. Fishbowl prevents negative standard costs because they represent no valid business scenario. Costs and prices should always be zero or positive. This error appears when you attempt to save a part with a negative value in the standard cost field.

What to check

• Is the standard cost field showing a negative number? Change it to zero or a positive value.
• If you’re importing or batch-updating parts, check whether your source file contains negative cost values.
• For cost credits or adjustments, check Fishbowl’s adjustment features instead of entering negative costs directly.
