The product cost is coming from purchase or manufacturing when you have FIFO valuation.  If there has not been any incoming with cost, the product cost will be 0, and you will not be able to post a return.
Workaround: On the product, change the product category to one with std. cost. Update the cost on the product.  Change back to the original product category.

I have purchased a product with the Purchase Order.
And the product cost is still equal to 0. Why?
I can't validate the Inventory Adjustment because "product cost is equal to 0...".
And the Inventory Value is still equal to 0.
How to resolve this issue?
Thanks.
