Importing packaged stock
👋 This article is part of our Getting Started guides. If you are new to Breww and have found this guide without first reading our 🧰 Getting Started Guide, you will want to head there first. Not new to Breww? 🚀 This guide might not be quite right for you as it is aimed at your initial setup.
Just before going live with Breww, you will be able to use the Initial packaged beer stock importer to bring your existing packaged beer stock into Breww so that it reflects your current stock levels. This importer includes fields that enable you to import specific information surrounding the stock, such as the batch, the cost associated with the stock, and the expiry date.
You can import your initial packaged beer stock by heading to Settings->Data imports and updates->Initial packaged beer stock, and following the Data import guide.
It is worth noting that you cannot import stock from any in-progress batches in Breww, and in-progress batches should be imported after this import. This import should only include batches that are not held in vessel and are fully packaged. If you have a batch that is currently held in vessel, that has also been partially racked, you should not import this batch here, and instead you should import the total volume of the batch, including the volume already packaged, into a vessel, via the Create your in-progress batches importer. Following this, you will then need to package your partially racked stock from the batch, and follow the Racking/Packaging help guide, to create this stock in Breww.
If you have stock that needs to be imported, which is already 'Duty paid' from before Breww, then this is covered in the Adding pre-Breww stock and returned stock produced before Breww guide.
