# Create stock receipt from CSV file

How to create a stock receipt using a CSV file you received from your supplier

**If your supplier can provide you with delivery documentation for received goods in a CSV file, you can save a lot of time by importing it, instead of scanning each product and manually entering the quantity and cost price.**

Your supplier must be able to send a CSV file in UTF-8 format in order for the system to read the data and automatically create the stock receipt from the file.

**Note!** Contact our support via email to have this feature enabled. Remember to include your customer number when you reach out to us.

**The file should contain:**

-   Product number or barcode (EAN)
    
-   Quantity received (only whole numbers)
    
-   Cost price (if it should be included)

## **Import stock receipt from file**

1.  Go to **Products** → select the **Inventory** tab
    
2.  Click the **Import stock movement** button
    
3.  If your CSV file has headers (first row contains column names), select that option
    
4.  Choose the file's separator type — typically a semicolon (;)
    
5.  Select **Stock receipt**
    
6.  Choose the CSV file that contains the receipt data
    
7.  Specify the column with either the product number or barcode\*
    
8.  Select the column with the quantity
    
9.  Optionally, select the column with the cost price, if available
    
10.  When all data is selected, click **Preview**
     
11.  Review the data, and if everything looks correct, click **Import**

**Remember, you can always recreate the receipt if you forgot something or made a mistake.**

No items will be added to your inventory until the receipt is finally confirmed!

When all products have been imported into the receipt, you will see them in the list just as if they had been scanned manually. The stock receipt will remain under **Drafts** until it is approved, so you can always go back and make changes.

**Note:** If the CSV file includes products that are not found in your product catalog—either by product number or barcode—these must be created within the stock receipt before you can complete the full import.

You will also have the option to adjust quantities or cost prices before confirming the receipt.

Once all the items in the receipt are registered, you can confirm the receipt, and everything will then be added to your inventory.

**Note:** If you receive the same items at different cost prices over time, the system will calculate the average weighted cost price to ensure the most accurate costing.

Before confirming, you can enter a note for the receipt, which will be visible in the stock receipt overview.
