Report of inventory valuation.
The main Difference of inventory valuation and inventory report is; inventory report gives stock information only but inventory valuation give remain stock with calculated expected values of remaining stock. Every year your inventory valuation has to be recorded in your balance sheet. • the way you compute the cost of your stored items (Standard vs. Average vs. Real Price); Costing Method :-
In odoo mainly 3 costing methods are there. 1. FIFO (First In First Out) 2. Standard 3. AVCO (Average cost) Odoo allows any method. The default one is Standard Price. To change it, go to inventory; Inventory → configuration → product category
And then change costing method
Whatever the method is, Odoo provides a full inventory valuation in Inventory → Reports → Inventory Valuation (i.e. current quantity in stock * cost price).
Standard price - This method is very basic and easy. What we have to do is, just put the cost price on product master. The inventory valuation will not consider the amount for which you bought this item. It directly takes the cost price you provided on product master.
Let's consider a product;
While calculating inventory valuation(costing method is standard price)
Inventory valuation
Inventory valuation is;
Average Cost price - In average costing method, cost of items in inventory is calculated based on the average cost of all available similar items in inventory. i.e cost of an item in inventory divided by the number of items available in stock. The average cost does not change when products leave the warehouse.
Real time - costing - In real time inventory valuation method, Odoo keeps track of the cost of each incoming and outgoing items. Real-time costing method works along with stock removal strategy.Ie (FIFO, LIFO, FEFO). So we have to select one of them in product category form. In odoo v12. Only FIFO is there.
Product moves
From inventory module we can see all product moves including CW product with CW quantity movement.
Inventory → report → product moves
Product moves each product (CW product and non-CW product).
TRACKING PRODUCT USING LOT/ SERIAL NUMBER
lots and serial numbers have similarities in their functional system but are different in their behavior. They are both managed within the Inventory, Purchases and Sales app.
Feature setting is at inventory → configuration → lot and serial number
Lots correspond to a certain number of products you received and store altogether in one single pack.
Serial numbers are identification numbers given to one product in particular, to allow to track the history of the item from reception to delivery and after-sales.
We create a product, we can assign product tracking is by lot / serial number by tapping the corresponding column.
Create purchase Order and then confirm.
Recieve Products
Here we can see that catch weight qunatity per product is calculated. Enter serial number and done quantities.
Go to inventory-> Master Data -> Lots/Serial Numbers
