Hello there, There is another "trick" that you could use ... :-) Do not load records directly into InventTrans, since this table is one of the key tables in Ax. Instead, during quite a lot of implementations, I simply load data into InventJournalTable and InventJournalTrans. Once the data is in the journal, you simply use the built-in function to copy a journal. Once the journal is copied, the corresponding journal lines are now updated in such a way that you will be able to book the journal without problems. I use the same approach when importing sales orders/lines and purchase orders/lines. I simply import them as journals, after which I let Ax handle the rest when changing order type from Journal to Sales Order / Purchase Order. Hope this helps. /Jens

I could successfully upload the opening stock using InventJournalTable, InventJournalTrans and InventTrans. I have not included InventDim as the DimGroupIds of all the items already exists in InventDim table. I have to include InventTrans as I was getting an error that there should be transaction with status "Ordered". I have included InventTrans table with status Ordered of all the items. I have uploaded and then posted the Movement Journal. Now when you see the on-hand inventory you will see the items in Ordered as negative witht he quantity uploaded. Then I went to InventSum table and changed all those negative entries to "0". I have tested master scheduling and other functionalities. Its working fine. Please reply whether this is ok. As you have used a word "malfunctioing" I am worried. Awaiting your reply.

When you import these records, system will create the inventdim id for those records. Put these new alocated number along with the previous that you find in the InventJournalTrans.
