Once information about stock items is all entered and by implication the base data required first (preferably all in advance),
The stock balance at each stock location must be entered as stock adjustments.
The stock/general ledger interface should be disabled in the company preferences screen until the stock balance in the general ledger (which would be set up using a manual journal in the general ledger) is reconciled to the standard cost of all stock items entered into the system, per the stock valuation report.
This reconciliation requires that the standard cost for each stock item entered be correct as well as the total units held in all locations.
