If the system says 40 and the shelf says 32, every other number is wrong too.
Odoo Inventory: warehouse and stock management
Odoo Inventory tracks every movement of stock across warehouses and locations, reorders automatically, traces lots and serial numbers, and values stock straight into accounting. We configure it around how goods actually move in your business.

Implementation considerations
- Clean product data first
- Units of measure, variants and barcodes decide how smooth go-live is.
- Start with an opening count
- A full physical count at cut-over gives the system a true starting point.
- Match routes to reality
- Two-step picking only helps if your team actually works that way.
