Estimated reading: 2 minutes 336 views

Odoo Inventory helps businesses manage warehouse operations, from receiving stock to shipping orders, with real-time data shared across the rest of Odoo. It suits small retailers and larger manufacturers alike, adapting to how many warehouses, locations and products a company runs.

How Odoo Inventory works

  1. Install the Inventory app from the Odoo Apps dashboard.
  2. Set up warehouses and their internal locations (such as aisles, shelves or bins) under Inventory app > Configuration > Warehouses.
  3. Add products under Inventory app > Products > Products, choosing whether each is storable or a service, and organise them with categories.

Getting more from Inventory

  • Use the Barcode app to speed up receiving and shipping.
  • Set up reordering rules to avoid running out of stock.
  • Use inventory adjustments regularly to correct any discrepancies.
  • Connect with the Purchase app so reordering rules can generate purchase orders automatically.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a separate Purchase app for reordering?

Automated reordering rules can generate purchase orders, so the Purchase app is useful alongside Inventory, though not strictly required for manual replenishment.

Can Odoo Inventory handle barcode scanning?

Yes, the Barcode app works with Inventory to speed up receiving, picking and stock counts.
