Inventory Count & Stock Audit
Run structured, locked, fully auditable stock counts across warehouses in Odoo.
Overview
Inventory Count & Stock Audit addresses the limits of Odoo's default inventory adjustment, which offers little structure or accountability. The module adds a dedicated Inventory Count record so a physical count becomes a tracked job from start to finish.
Built by TechUltra Solutions, it lets you scope each count by warehouse, location, product, and date range, then assign a responsible user when the count starts — and only that person can complete it. Counters enter actual quantities, and Odoo calculates the difference against on-hand stock before adjustments are applied.
Every adjustment is written to move history for a full audit trail, completed counts can be locked against further edits, and the module records how long a count took. It supports lot and serial numbers with expiry dates, which suits warehouses, third-party logistics (3PL) operations, and manufacturing.
Key features
-
Structured inventory count records
A dedicated Inventory Count record turns a physical count into a tracked job with its own status, location, product list, and reference rather than a loose adjustment.
-
Scoped counts
Define each count by warehouse, single or multiple locations, specific products, and a from/to date range, so a count covers exactly the stock you intend.
-
Responsibility tracking
When a count starts, the initiating user becomes the responsible person and is the only one authorised to complete it — clear ownership of every count.
-
Date and zero-quantity counting
Start a count from real-time quantities or from zero, and optionally include exhausted, zero-quantity products so nothing is missed.
-
Expiry-aware counting
Count stock with lot or serial numbers and product expiry dates, suited to inventory where shelf life and traceability matter.
-
Automatic difference calculation
Counters enter the actual counted quantity and the module calculates the difference against on-hand stock, ready to apply or clear.
-
Inventory locking
Completed counts can be locked, which prevents unauthorised changes to the figures after the count is finalised.
-
Move history audit trail
Applied adjustments create move history entries, giving a complete, reviewable record of every change a count made to stock.
-
Cancel and reset
A count can be cancelled at any stage and reset to draft, so a mistaken or interrupted count is easy to redo.
-
Count duration tracking
The module records the total time spent on a count, giving managers a measure of how long stock-takes take.

Frequently asked questions
-
How is this different from Odoo's default inventory adjustment?
Odoo's default adjustment offers little structure or accountability. This module adds a dedicated Inventory Count record with scoping, a responsible user, locking, duration tracking, and a move-history audit trail.
-
Can I limit a count to part of my stock?
Yes. Each count is scoped by warehouse, single or multiple locations, specific products, and a from/to date range, so it covers exactly the stock you choose.
-
Who can complete a count?
Only the responsible person. When a user clicks Start Inventory they become responsible for that count and are the only one authorised to complete it.
-
Does it handle lot or serial numbers and expiry dates?
Yes. The module supports counting products that use lot or serial numbers and have expiry dates, with expiry-based counting for stock where shelf life matters.
-
Can I stop unauthorised edits after a count?
Yes. A completed count can be locked, which prevents changes to the finalised figures. A count can also be cancelled and reset to draft before completion.
-
Where can I review the adjustments a count made?
Applied adjustments create move history entries, so you have a complete, reviewable audit trail of every change a count made to stock.
-
Which Odoo versions are supported?
The module supports Odoo 15.0, 16.0, 17.0, 18.0, and 19.0, in both the Community and Enterprise editions.
-
Is support included?
Yes. The module includes 90 days of bug-fix support, Monday to Friday, 10:00–19:00 IST.
