Enter Beginning Balances for Inventory

How Do I...

Use this procedure to enter inventory beginning balances for stock items and assemblies. This establishes the quantity on hand of items when you started using Sage 50.

1. Open the Inventory Beginning Balances window. How do I do that?

1. Click the Inventory Items navigation aid on the Inventory & Services Navigation Center and select New Inventory Item.
2. On the General tab, select the Beginning Balances button. Sage 50 displays the Inventory Beginning Balances window.

2. From the item list, enter or select an item ID that you want to record a beginning balance. To display a list of existing items, type ? in this field, or select the Lookup button.

   If you select a serialized item, the Serial No button will become available. You will need to enter serial numbers for these items after you have entered a quantity.
