If all arguments to SUM function are missing it will still return missing.

The only option as I can see it, depending on why the missing are objectionable in the data, are to remove the record from the output or assign a specific value such as 0 if both variables are missing.

you can add a 0 as one of the parameters in SUM to prevent returning a missing value -- SUM(0,cost,vat)
