Inventory

Stock you can actually count on

A stock figure is only worth having if it says where the goods are, which one they are and how they got there. Quantity alone is a number somebody will have to go and check.

An Odoo inventory overview with receipts, deliveries and manufacturing.

On hand

What is here, and where exactly

Quantity by product and by location, with counted against expected and the difference stated — so a count is a reconciliation rather than a fresh start.

Traceability

Which one, specifically, and where it went

Lots and serial numbers carried through receipt, transfer and delivery, so a recall or a warranty question has an answer instead of a search.

Replenishment

Reordering that happens before the shortage

Minimum and maximum per product, a forecast that counts what is already committed, and an order proposed rather than remembered.

Going out

Picked, packed and out, with a record of each

Delivery orders raised from the sale, worked in the warehouse and closed against what actually left the building.

Stock by location

Quantity held per warehouse, per zone and per bin, rather than one number for the building.

Lots and serials

Identity carried with the goods, so a specific unit can be traced forward and backward.

Internal transfers

Movement between locations recorded as movement, with who moved it and when.

Replenishment

Rules and forecasts that raise the order before the shortage reaches a customer.

Movement history

Every movement kept, with the document that caused it, long after the stock has gone.

Counting and adjustment

Counts booked as adjustments with a reason, not as a silent overwrite of the figure.

The record

Every movement keeps the document behind it

Warehouse management

Received, transferred, sold, adjusted, consumed in production — each one a line saying what moved, from where to where, how many and on whose instruction. This is the report that answers where the stock went, and it is the same one that answers why the valuation changed.

Connected

What stock is wired to

Inventory is the module everything else moves through, which is why it is the one that shows first when something is wrong.

Sales

What can be promised is what is available, not what was available at the last export.

Purchasing

Receipts land against orders, at the location they actually arrived.

Accounting

Valuation and cost of goods move with the stock rather than being estimated at period end.

Manufacturing

Components consumed and finished goods produced, both recorded as movements.

Point of sale

A sale at the till moves the same stock a warehouse pick moves.

Reporting

Ageing, turnover and valuation read off the movements themselves.

What changes

Four things stock stops doing

Disagreeing with itself

The till, the warehouse and the ledger read one figure.

Losing the trail

Every movement keeps the document that caused it.

Running out quietly

Rules and forecasts raise the order before the shortage.

Valuing at guesswork

Cost follows the goods, at the moment they move.
