Cost of goods sold

I purchased inventory throughout 2021, I deducted from that inventory and posted an ending inventory balance of $3,000.  The next screen asks for cost of purchase, I would not put in my original purchase amount of $4,500 would I?  If I leave it blank, it shows on my main screen that I haven't even started the inventory section.  If I put in the amount it shows me a gross profit amount.

    You would enter the price you paid for the inventory you purchased during the 2021 tax year.

    Note that if you started the business during 2021, you would have a zero as your beginning inventory.
