2. **Reason 2:** Check the business location selected in add purchase have that product. So if the business location is Location-1, then in add/edit product the product must be assigned to that location. Check More here in [Add/Edit Products](https://docs.senangurus.com/books/senangurus-business/page/products-management)
3. **Reason 3:** Make sure the product has **Stock-Management ENABLED** in Add/edit product. If stock management is not enabled in products then it won’t show in the add/edit purchase.
### Difference between Default Purchase Price and Current Purchase Price:
Sometimes, the purchase price shown in **View Product** may differ from the value in reports where *current stock by purchase price* is calculated.
This difference occurs because the **Default Purchase Price** and the **Current Purchase Price** are not always the same.
#### **Default Purchase Price**
- The purchase price entered when the product is first added.
- Displayed in the **View Product** page.
- Remains the same unless updated manually.
#### **Current Purchase Price**
- The most recent purchase price based on your latest purchase entry.
- Can vary over time depending on market changes or supplier costs.
- Used in the **Current Stock Value by Purchase Price** report for calculation.
**Example:**
- Last month’s steel purchase price(when product is first added to the system) : **$120**
- This month’s steel purchase price: **$125**
- **View Product** shows: **$120** (default purchase price)
- **Stock Value Report** shows: **$125** (current purchase price)
