  1. Save as .xlsx (one sheet only) → drag file or click to upload → Import preview
  2. System will auto-match by Item code
    • Green/orange = recognised & valid
    • Red = error (usually wrong/missing code – fix directly in preview)
  3. When everything is green/orange → Confirm import

Done. Your warehouse now shows real stock + correct landed cost for all items. Next step → run Stock Valuation report to see total warehouse value in USD.

(If you have more than 6 items, just keep adding rows – same file works for thousands.)
