Import stock with Excel

Import current stock values with Excel to speed up your first Stock setup.

Use Excel import when you already have stock data outside OutSmart.

This is useful during first setup or migration.

When import helps

Use import when you want to:

• load existing current stock faster
• avoid manual entry for many items
• start with a more complete stock position

Before you import

Make sure your warehouses and items already exist.

Check the Excel file carefully before you import it.

Validate names, codes, and quantities.

Good practice

Start with a small test file first.

Confirm that the imported values appear in the correct warehouse.

Then import the remaining stock data.
