Counting selected stock items or locations on a recurring schedule and reconciling differences with recorded inventory.

Definition

In general ERP practice

Counting selected stock items or locations on a recurring schedule and reconciling differences with recorded inventory.

In Odoo

Odoo 19 supports cycle counts by storage location when Storage Locations is enabled. Each location can have its own counting frequency. Unlike a full physical count, cycle counting spreads verification across the year. Investigate the causes of differences as well as correcting quantities.
