What does it mean when under the formation type it says "No base formation" and the cost to recall is "Not defined"?

I also have some where the formation type is defined but still has a cost of "Not defined"

Ignore the formation type
Where cost is not define It means that you cannot buy them back.
In the upper left hand corner is a button you can push which will clear the units that you cannot buy back.
By pushing it, you will have just the units that you can buy back in the list....GP

I've done that. I have units where the cost to recall is either "Can't recall" or "Not defined". When i hit the Suppress No Recall Units it just gets rid of the ones that say "Can't recall" but leaves the "not defined" still showing.

Well, from that picture that you didn't post, I can tell you what the problem is.

Try clicking on the unit name.And once you do that, click on exit.And then you will have a price to bring them back....GP

In this list of units, some that are listed as "not defined" can be altered to become recallable (with the cost given).

For a "not defined" unit you're interested in, try a combination of left and right clicks (on the unit name) and the unit might appear as now having a cost (listed perhaps at the bottom of the list).

It's all a mystery to me

edit: I see btd64 beat me to it.

Thank you. That did the trick.

A suggestion for your pictures. I don't know how you did these pictures. Save the picture and then edit the picture in something like 3D. You can enlarge the picture there if needed and hopefully the letters and numbers won't be as blurry.
