There can be no entry for opening stock. They are the closing stock of the previous period now incorporated as opening stock for the current year.

at the beginning of the year, all the assets are debited and liabilities are credited as per their values in the last year's balance sheet. therefore all the accounts are carried forward in the next year. this is called the opening entry.
