Inventory valuation

Quick summary: The valuation method determines when Odoo calculates stock value; the inventory period determines when the difference reaches the general ledger.

Two separate settings

Section titled “Two separate settings”
  • Periodic (at closing) handles value at a valuation close.
  • Perpetual (at invoicing) recalculates value when the vendor bill is posted.
  • A Manual, Daily, or Monthly inventory period determines when the reconciliation journal entry is created.

When the period is Manual, open Accounting > Review > Inventory > Inventory Valuation, select the cut-off date, and click Generate Entry. Before posting, review every included product, account, amount, and date.

To correct a posted vendor bill, use a reversal or credit note and a correct replacement bill. Recheck valuation and generate the reconciliation entry when necessary.
