# How to import item adjustments in Zoho Inventory?

You can import bulk data from your hard-drive into the item adjustments modules within Zoho Inventory. This saves you a lot of time from manual entry.

The import process involves three phases:

*   [Phase 1 - Uploading the import file](/ke/inventory/kb/items/item-import-adjustments.html#import-1)
*   [Phase 2 - Mapping import fields](/ke/inventory/kb/items/item-import-adjustments.html#import-2)
*   [Phase 3 - Preview before completion](/ke/inventory/kb/items/item-import-adjustments.html#import-3)

* * *

### Phase 1 - Uploading the import file

*   Login to your Zoho Inventory account.
*   Navigate to **Items** > **Inventory Adjustments** module on the side bar.

*   Upload the relevant **.csv** or **.tsv** type file from your hard-drive.

> **Note:** You can download and refer the **sample file** from this page for your reference to prepare the data on your import file.

*   Choose the character encoding involved from the dropdown. By default, the character encoding is **UTF-8(Unicode)**.
*   Choose the **File Delimiter**(comma or semicolon). By default it will be comma for a .csv type file.
*   Click **Next** to proceed to mapping the fields.

* * *

### Phase 2 - Mapping import fields

*   Zoho Inventory will automatically match the similar fields and map them. You can manually match the unmapped ones or alter mapped ones.
*   At the bottom, enable the option **Save these selections for use during future imports** to automate mapping for future item imports.
*   Click the **Next** button to proceed.
