Introduction: Reporting Beyond Stock On Hand
When it comes to managing inventory, just knowing what’s in your warehouse isn’t enough. You also need to know:
- How long have items been sitting unsold
- Why are those items worth today?
- How stock has moved over time
In Odoo, three powerful reports help answer these questions:
👉 Inventory Aging Report
👉 Inventory Valuation Report
👉 Inventory Moves Report
Whether you're a warehouse manager, accountant, or business owner, these insights can help you make better decisions on pricing and stock clearance.
1.Inventory Aging Report
What It Is
The Inventory Aging Report shows how long each product has been in stock, categorized by age brackets (e.g., 0–30 days, 31–60 days, 61–90 days, 90+ days).
It’s essential for identifying slow-moving items that may be tying up your capital.
Why It Matters
- Helps you act on old inventory (discounts, clearance)
- Prevents overstocking of low-demand items
- Improves warehouse efficiency and cash flow
How to Access It
Go to: Inventory → Reporting → Inventory Aging
You’ll see a pivot table grouped by product category and aging buckets, with columns for Remaining Quantity and Value.
Use Case
You discover a batch of electronics has been idle for over 90 days. Based on the report, your team decides to bundle them into an ongoing promotion to clear space and recover value.
2. Inventory Valuation Report
What It Is
This report shows the monetary value of your inventory, based on real-time costing methods like:
- FIFO (First-In-First-Out)
- AVCO (Average Cost)
- Standard Price
Why It Matters
- Gives financial transparency over stock value
- Supports balance sheet audits and COGS calculations
- Helps with tax planning and procurement forecasting
How to Access It
Go to: Inventory → Reporting → Valuation
Make sure your product categories are configured for Automated Valuation.
Use Case
During year-end accounting, your finance team uses the valuation report to reconcile physical inventory against the books and ensure depreciation or loss is properly accounted for.
3. Inventory Moves Report
What It Is
This is a detailed log of every inventory transaction in Odoo—transfers, receipts, deliveries, scrap, internal moves, and adjustments.
Why It Matters
- Ensures full traceability of stock movement
- Identifies bottlenecks and delivery delays
- Useful for audits and quality control
How to Access It
Go to: Inventory → Reporting → Inventory Moves
You can filter by location, product, operation type, date, and more.
Use Case
A user reports a missing item in stock. You trace the movement using this report and discover it was mistakenly transferred to the wrong warehouse.
