Cost Books and their Cost Book Entries must already be set up in your org.

1. On the Repossession Item, click **Add Repossession Item Cost**.
2. Select the Cost Book, and set the Type and Status for the cost record.
3. Add a cost-allocation line item: enter Name and select Type, then select the Cost Book Entry. Product and Cost populate from it.
4. To add another allocation, click **Add More**, and repeat.
5. Click **Submit**.

Salesforce creates the Repossession Item Cost record, and its total cost contributes to the total recovery cost for the repossession item. See [Recovery Cost Tracking for Repossession Items](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=ind.auto_repossession_recovery_cost_tracking.htm&type=5&language=en_US).
