Inventory Management

This part of the Odoo Inventory knowledge base covers keeping stock counts accurate and reviewing what is held in the warehouse: cycle counts, scrapping unusable stock, and browsing the product catalog.

What this section covers

Cycle counts check a subset of stock regularly, rather than counting everything at once, so discrepancies are caught early. Scrapping removes damaged or unusable stock from usable inventory, keeping valuation and availability accurate. The product catalog gives a browsable view of the products held in Inventory.

Topics covered in this knowledge base

This section covers cycle counts, scrap inventory, and the product catalog.

Frequently asked questions

How often should cycle counts be done?

As often as the business needs; Odoo lets a count frequency be set per location so high-value or fast-moving areas can be checked more often.

Does scrapping inventory affect valuation?

Yes, scrapped items are moved out of usable stock, which is reflected in inventory valuation and reporting.
