Unable to Set Sales Price to Zero in Sales Order

Hi Community,

Is it possible to have a Sales Order with multiple lines where one line has a sales price of zero but still carries a cost (COGS)?

The system currently requires a value in the sales price field. I've reviewed the Sales & Receivables Setup but couldn't find any option to disable this requirement. Is there a standard way to allow zero-value sales lines?

Goal is to create a sales order with multiple lines but one of the lines has sales price of zero but when invoiced COGS will have value for that zero price line item.

Hello there is two ways to solve this :

Best & Cleanest method
Set the Line Discount % to 100% instead of putting the Unit Price to 0.
This way the net price becomes zero, but the cost is still recorded normally when you post the invoice. COGS will appear correctly.

Alternative
If you really need the Unit Price to show as 0.00:

Go to the line → click on Unit Price → choose “0” and confirm.

If it still refuses, temporarily set “Prices Including VAT” to No on the Sales Order header, enter 0, then switch it back.

There’s no setup in Sales & Receivables Setup to completely disable the check, but the 100% discount trick is the standard and cleanest workaround used by most people. This will give you zero revenue on that line while still posting the correct COGS.

Hello,

Aziz's Answer is correct,

You can True the Boolean of "FOC" which is Free of Cost, By clicking this Boolean system will automatically apply 100% in Line Discount.

Eighter you can put the unit price as 0 or you can apply line discount as 100% for particular that item.

I hope this will help you.

Hello,

With standard functionality you should be able to set the unit price as 0$ on the line and post:

This will also post to COGs:

As Aziz mentioned the alternative option if the above doesn't work is to just use a 100% discount either on the line or the invoice itself. You can set the discount account to a specific GL Account (such as a revenue account called discount) or set it as the same GL Account as your "Sales" Account in the general posting setup:

Best,

Orders can be posted as long as the total amount is not less than 0, even if a sales line is negative.

Hello,

Yes standard BC should allow a sales line with Unit Price = 0, and if it’s an item line, posting can still create COGS from the item cost, so your scenario is valid. There’s no standard toggle in Sales & Receivables Setup to “allow zero price” because zero-price lines are generally already allowed; if your system blocks it, that’s usually due to customization or validation logic, not base Business Central. Also, entering 0 is different from leaving the field blank. So in short: zero sales amount with non-zero COGS is possible in standard BC for item lines.
