Expert guide for Odoo Inventory: stock valuation (FIFO/AVCO), reordering rules, putaway strategies, routes, and multi-warehouse configuration.

When to use

• Choosing and configuring FIFO vs AVCO stock valuation.
• Setting up minimum stock reordering rules to avoid stockouts.
• Designing a multi-step warehouse flow (2-step receipt, 3-step delivery).
• Configuring putaway rules to direct products to specific storage locations.
• Troubleshooting negative stock, incorrect valuation, or missing moves.

When not to use

• **Serial number tracking** at the individual unit level (SN per line) adds significant UI overhead; test performance with large volumes before enabling.
• Does not cover **landed costs** (import duties, freight allocation to product cost) — that requires the `stock_landed_costs` module.
• **Cross-warehouse stock transfers** have routing complexities (transit locations, intercompany invoicing) not fully covered here.
• Automated inventory valuation requires the **Accounting** module; Community Edition installations without it cannot post stock journal entries.
