Kindly check our guides first. You can achieve this with a batch operation (Batch Create).

Thank you for your help on that. I did read the guide and imported my inventory items. What I dont see is how do I import the current quantity on hand with out doing a goods receipt?

Give us context.

IS it a new business? Use these guides.

Existing business: Use a purchase invoice if goods came from a supplier. Pass a journal entry if is it is an additional business contribution from you.
