Managing costs

Costs are the one input Meridia can't read from a third-party API. Keeping them accurate is what separates a dashboard from a decision-support tool.

Three ways to maintain COGS

CSV upload (Settings → Costs → Import), per-SKU manual edit, or link to a supplier whose purchase orders you've entered into Meridia.

Supplier-linked COGS

When POs are recorded against a supplier, Meridia can auto-calculate a weighted-average cost per SKU. Set a "re-average window" (default 90 days) in the supplier's settings.

Overriding per-order

Occasionally you'll have an order with unusual economics — a wholesale discount, a returned-for-rework unit. Open the order and click "Override costs" to set order-specific values that don't disturb the SKU default.
