Opening Stock Help

I have been running my business for a few year now but just recently started using Quickfile, I have started my accounting year as of 1st Sept 2018 in Quickfile …

I had X amount value of products left in stock from the previous accounting year…

In complete layman terms how do I add this, I read somewhere to use a Journal entry but to be honest I don’t know what to add and where to add it, debit/credit do I also add the value ex vat in the journal ?

Can anyone help… Is there any plans to make some youtube video tutorials for doing things in Quickfile ?

Thanks

This can be good starting point on switching accounting software
