The item cost profile was not generated

Before costing can process an item it must decide the RULES for that item, which cost method, which valuation structure. That decision is the cost profile, and costing couldn't create one: a setup gap, not a data problem. Four switches decide it.

Root cause

Costing couldn't attach a cost profile to the item, setup gap.

How to fix it
  1. Does a cost profile exist and is it complete?
  2. Is a DEFAULT cost profile defined for BOTH Asset and Expense? (miss one and only half your items work)
  3. Item attributes: Costing Enabled ticked? Asset flag as intended?
  4. Do the subinventories the transactions touch have the Asset/Expense flags you expect?
