Mass Importing Inventory from One Environment to Another in Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management

Hello community members,
 
I hope this message finds you well. I'm currently facing a challenge in Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management and I'm seeking your valuable insights and expertise to help me overcome it.
 
Specifically, I am looking for guidance on the process of mass importing inventory from one environment to another within Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management. I have a significant amount of inventory data that needs to be transferred from a source environment to a target environment, and I'm wondering if there are any established best practices or recommended approaches to achieve this task efficiently. It is worth noting that the purpose of this is to test a new Warehouse structure in the test environment.
 
Here are a few specific questions I have:
1. What are the available options or tools within Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management for mass importing inventory data?
2. Are there any specific data formats or templates that need to be prepared for successful data migration?
3. Are there any considerations or potential pitfalls I should be aware of during the import process?
4. Are there any recommended steps or sequence of actions to follow to ensure a smooth and accurate transfer of inventory data?
5. Are there any built-in validation mechanisms or checks in Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management to verify the integrity of the imported data?
 
If you have any prior experience or knowledge in performing mass inventory imports in Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management, I would greatly appreciate your insights, suggestions, or any practical tips that you can share. Alternatively, if you know of any comprehensive resources, tutorials, or documentation that can guide me through this process, please do share them as well.
 
Thank you so much in advance for your support and assistance. Your contributions will undoubtedly help me and others who may face similar challenges in the future.
Best regards,

    Hi Ahmad Mezher,
     
    My advice is to use data entities for the export and import of on-hand inventory. There are several data entities available like:
     
    - Inventory counting journal lines
    - Inventory movement journal headers and lines
     
     
     
    When you export the data you get also the template
     
     
     
    Regarding the pitfalls, make sure that all the master data like sites, warehouses, locations etc is available in the system before the import. 
     
    Regards,
