Currently, there is no mass data import facility available.  I am afraid 
you would have to input the data manually.

It is difficult to design a general purpose inventory record layout to 
meet every organisation's requirement.  However, if you could describe 
your inventory info, I may be able to change the inventory record layout 
in future releases if the requirement is of general interest.

At this point, I like to add a standard ridder before going further.  
CK-Ledger is still in beta, so bugs are inevitable.  Using CK-Ledger in 
a production environment does carry substantial risk, so regular backup 
is very much mandatory.

I would suggest the next step is to test out CK-Ledger fully to see if 
it meets your processing requirement.  If the answer is confirmative, 
then plan your data conversion/master data creation carefully.  You may 
have to re-do the data conversion again in the future since it is likely 
the vendor/customer record layout will be changed once phpgw 0.9.16 
stabilises, and I would not promise auto-conversion of legacy CK-Ledger 
data to accord with future record layout.  If you are looking for 
documentation to guide you thru' the process, I am afraid no such 
documentation is available.  My best advice is for you to sit down with 
your accountant to plan out the process and yes, the accountant needs to 
be a very experienced one too.

Cheers,
CK
