# Costs don’t populate after a pricebook import

## Problem

After importing your pricebook, equipment costs do not populate even though the **Cost** column in your spreadsheet contains data.

## Solution

ServiceTitan uses vendor-based pricing. If you only update the **Cost** column in the spreadsheet, the system doesn't apply those values. The costs must also be reflected in the **Vendor Price** column for the primary vendor assigned to each item.

Update both the **Cost** column and the **Vendor Price** column to ensure the new costs apply correctly.

> [!TIP]
> **Tip:** Identify which vendor is set as the primary vendor for the item, then update that vendor's price column.

### Update the pricebook file

1. Open your pricebook import file.
2. Locate the vendor price column, for example, **Default Replenishment Vendor [Vendor] Price,** and add the costs for each item.

> [!TIP]
> **Tip:** Copy the values from the Cost column and paste them into the vendor price column.

3. Save the updated file.
4. [Import](/construction/docs/import-and-export-your-pricebook-1#import-your-pricebook) the file into ServiceTitan.
5. Verify that the equipment costs now display correctly.
