The standard cost for this transaction does not exist

The item's cost profile says standard costing, transactions may only ever use the official, published price list. Costing looked up that price list for this item on this date and found no published entry, so the transaction waits at the gate.

Root cause

Standard-cost item, but no PUBLISHED standard cost covers this item on the transaction's cost date.

How to fix it
  1. Open Manage Standard Costs and search the item
  2. A cost that is saved in a scenario but NOT published doesn't count, check the Cost Scenario status says PUBLISHED
  3. Check the effective date: the published cost must cover the transaction's cost date (a cost published from tomorrow doesn't help yesterday's receipt)
  4. Publish (or republish with the right date), then rerun the processor
