I used to use Quickbooks Plus, there I had a field to add the cost of an item.  I just changed to Quickbook essentials and now there is NO field for me to add it. 

I'm quite confused,  I can understand not allowing me to have inventory with Quickbooks Essentials,  but the cost of an item is so fundamental,  I find it difficult to think I can not do it in Quickbooks Essentials.
