Summary
Highlights
Before managing inventory, products must be set up in Odoo. For physical goods like furniture, the product type should be set to 'goods' and 'track inventory' enabled. This allows Odoo to track exact units. Untracked products, like screws, don't require quantity or location tracking.
To organize incoming products, storage locations need to be configured. In settings, ensure 'storage locations' under 'warehouse' is checked. Locations for storage should have their type set to 'internal'. The video notes that 'shelf three' is empty and ready for incoming cabinets.
The inventory dashboard shows 'receipts' for incoming shipments. Purchase orders confirmed in the purchase app create a receipt in inventory to ensure items are recorded. The 'receipts' card indicates daily arrivals (orange), late items (red), and future packages (green). Receipts can be managed by scanning barcodes or manually selecting them.
When processing a receipt, verify that received products match the ordered amount (demand column). If quantities differ, the received amount can be manually adjusted. A destination location, like 'shelf three', is then assigned for storage. After moving items, validate the receipt. If items are missing, a back order can be created.
To check current stock, go to 'operations' and 'physical inventory'. This displays on-hand quantities and their locations. If items are in the wrong location, like varnish in the warehouse stock instead of the seller, they can be relocated by selecting the item, choosing 'actions', 'relocate', and specifying the correct location and reason.
Untracked products, such as screws, will not appear in the physical inventory even if moved. To ensure stock and location tracking, the 'track inventory' checkbox must be enabled for each product. The tutorial concludes by summarizing the process of receiving, storing, and managing existing stock, with a look ahead to outgoing shipments and inventory adjustments.
