For non-recurring item products it is recommended to select Default Unit as the Unit Group, and Primary Unit as the Default Unit.

  • Monthly Unit Cost Price: This is the monthly internal cost for a sku. Note if the sales unit on the summary page of the product is Annual, the value in this monthly cost field is still required to be monthly.
