# Importing board materials from woodStore

With the help of the HOMAG File Agent, board materials from woodStore can be imported very easily.

Your panels and scraps that you manage in woodStore are thus directly available in the [materialManager](/v1/docs/en/materialmanager-tutorial-erste-schritte), the central material management, and in the [intelliDivide](/v1/docs/en/intellidivide-tutorial-erste-schritte) optimization software.

From woodStore, all material data – consisting of the material master, the stock of panels and remnants and the existing reservations – are imported into the materialManager. woodStore is the leading system in this regard. Changes you make in woodStore are synchronized in the materialManager. Changes to board materials from woodStore that you make in the materialManager will be overwritten during the next synchronization.

## Configuration

First, the HOMAG File Agent must be installed and an authorization key generated. These steps are explained in the [chapter Overview](/v1/docs/en/datenaustausch-homag-file-agent-ueberblick) .

If you are already using the HOMAG File Agent (e.g. for processing confirmations from machines), please note the following note.

> [!NOTE]
> **Note:**
> 
> Only use an authorization key that you have generated within the materialManager in the **HOMAG File Agent woodStore** license. Only then will the **materialManager Boards** entry be available to you as a target.
