Inventory and stock

This category is about the warehouse side of Odoo: the moment the stock figure on screen stops matching what is on the shelf. The guides cover negative stock and a valuation that has already gone wrong, reordering rules that never fire, lot and serial tracking, and keeping stock right across several warehouses and locations.

It also goes into the daily work of receiving and shipping: barcode picking, putaway rules, backorders, dropshipping, carrier connectors and landed costs, so freight and duty end up in your real product cost. The posts are written for the people who run stock every day, and for owners who want to know why the numbers drift. Each one explains what Odoo does, why it goes wrong and how to set it up properly.
