You can use the Adjustment In option to enter an opening balance on a product record. Let's do this now.

NOTE: Entering a product opening balance does not affect your nominal accounts. It simply adds the product's quantity and value to the record.

1. Click Products and services then select the required products.
   To select all products click Clear then click Swap.
2. Click Adjustment in and enter the following information for each product:
   

   NOTE: You can only enter product opening balances on stock items. If you select non-stock or service items, they won't appear.
   
   

   Date	Enter the date that you want to use for the opening balance transaction.
   Ref	Enter a reference to use for the opening balance transaction. For example, OBALS.
   Quantity	Enter the number of items you want to put in to stock. The software posts an Adjustment In (AI) transaction to increase the number of items in stock.
   Cost Price	Enter the cost price for the opening balance transaction. If you import product records and your spreadsheet includes the last cost price, it shows here. For more information about importing product records, please refer to article .

   For any product where there is no opening balance to enter, to delete the row select the product and press F8 on your keyboard.
