Inventory management controls quantities, availability, replenishment and value of goods.
Definition
In general ERP practice
Inventory management controls quantities, availability, replenishment and value of goods. It connects physical stock movements to purchasing, customer demand and production requirements.
In Odoo
Odoo Inventory tracks products, warehouses, locations and stock moves, with routes and replenishment rules. Forecast quantities include expected movements and differ from stock physically on hand; accounting valuation is a separate view of the same stock.
