# Import Item Stock

### How to Import Item Stock in Muhasib ERP

### Overview

This guide will help you import approved item quantities by location/batch and compare and confirm the resulting inventory.

The import changes recorded inventory and may affect valuation/accounting depending on implementation.

### Who can do this

You need access to Import Item Stock plus inventory/location and needed financial permissions.

### Before you start

Back up the database, freeze stock movement, get a physical/source schedule at one timestamp, and create all items, units, locations, batches/serials, fiscal year, and accounts.
