Inventory adjustments

Estimated reading: 2 minutes 269 views

Odoo Inventory adjustments reconcile the stock quantities recorded in the system with what is actually on the shelf, correcting discrepancies caused by damage, miscounts or other factors.

Viewing inventory adjustments

Go to Inventory app > Operations > Physical Inventory. Any product with stock history appears here, even with a negative quantity; only products with no stock history at all are excluded.

Each line shows details such as Location (if Storage Locations are enabled), Product, On Hand Quantity, Lot/Serial Number, UoM, Counted Quantity and Difference. Extra columns, such as Expiration Date or Storage Category, can be shown using the settings icon at the top right of the list.

How to create an adjustment

  1. Click New to add a blank line, or use Update Quantity from a product’s Forecasted report.
  2. Select the Product (and Lot/Serial Number if tracked), then enter the Counted Quantity.
  3. Click away from the line to save it. The Difference column turns green if the count is higher than on hand, red if lower.

How to apply the count

  1. Click Apply on the line, or tick its checkbox and use the Apply button at the top for several lines at once.
  2. Add a reference or reason in the pop-up, then click Apply to update the on-hand quantity.

Relocating products

Tick a line’s checkbox and click Relocate to move products to a different location or package. This only works between internal locations in the same company.
