Why your stock never matches the count
Odoo is faithfully recording a process that has a hole in it.
We have never once found the database at fault.
1. Delivering before receiving
Fix the sequence, not the number.
2. Negative stock left switched on
A hard stop today beats a silent number in three months.
3. Units of measure that do not convert
No amount of recounting fixes a wrong conversion factor.
4. Transfers treated as paperwork
Use an in-transit location so both sides stay honest.
5. Adjustments used as a delete key
If a location needs adjusting monthly, the adjustment is the symptom.
Which document should exist and does not?
How to unwind it without a full recount
- Start with the twenty largest value variances.
- Trace each back to the date system and reality diverged.
- Fix the habit first, then adjust the number.
- Cycle counting beats one exhausting annual count.
