Taking on inventory balances

Step 1 - Add all your inventory items.

Before you can take on balances you must first add all your inventory items via the Stock Main Form.

The preferred way is to import all your inventory items as well as the average cost price via the CSV Import form. Go to Stock Items > Stock Extra >| Stock & Price List Import.

Inventory items must be added per supplier, thus each supplier must have its own CSV file.

Step 2 - Adding quantities and average cost.

You can use the Stock > Stock Adjustment form to input your inventory opening quantities and average cost values.

Remember to change the general ledger account from Stock Adjustment to an Opening Balance Account.
