# How do I add an item and its opening quantity?

> Add a material to inventory with its price, box size, minimum amount and the stock you already have.

**Short answer:** go to **Inventory → Items**, click **New Inventory Item**, fill in the item, and enter the quantity you have under **Locations for Current Stock**.

**1. Open a new item**

Go to **Inventory → Items** and click **New Inventory Item**.

**2. Fill in the item**

Enter the **Item Name**, its **Type**, the **Price** per **Item** or **Box**, and **Total Items in One Box**. Set the **Min. Amount** to be alerted when stock is low.

**3. Enter the opening stock**

Under **Locations for Current Stock**, choose the storage, the quantity you have now and its expiry date.

**4. Create**

Click **Create**.

> [!WARNING]
>
> Box size and opening stock can only be set when **creating** the item. To add stock later, create a **Purchase** or **Amount Adjustment** order and save it as **Completed**.

> [!TIP]
>
> Create your storages first, so you can choose them for the opening stock. See [Main and branch storages](https://docs.dentolize.com/en/faq/inventory-storages.md).
