A Stock Entry is a simple document that lets you record Item movement from a Warehouse, to a Warehouse and between Warehouses.

This can also be useful in tracking:

- Material Issues from Stores
- Sales and Purchase Returns
- Production (manufacturing).

We will look into the special features of the Stock Entry later when we discuss Accounting and Manufacturing processes.

To make a Stock Entry you have to go to:

> Stock > Stock Entry

In the Stock Entry you have to update the Items table with all your transactions. For each row, you must enter a “Source Warehouse” or a “Target Warehouse” or both (if you are recording a movement).

> **Note:** To update Stock from a spreadsheet, see Stock Reconciliation.
