Inventory

Odoo Inventory is both a stock management and warehouse management system, helping businesses manage lead times, automate replenishment and configure routes. It suits companies of any size that need accurate stock levels across one or more warehouses.

What Odoo Inventory does

The app tracks products from receipt to delivery, using locations to organise stock within a warehouse, and lots or serial numbers for traceability. Replenishment can be automated through reordering rules or triggered by sales orders using the make to order (MTO) route, and reporting tools help monitor stock, cycle counts and lead times.

Main capabilities

• Product configuration: units of measure, packages, packaging and tracking method
• Warehouse and location management, including inventory adjustments and cycle counts
• Lot and serial number tracking, including expiration dates
• Replenishment through reordering rules, MTO, lead times and inter-warehouse transfers
