<\/figure>\n\n\n\nOnce tracking is enabled, Odoo will require you to choose a lot or serial number every time the product is moved, received, or adjusted. This setup improves traceability, prevents duplication of serial numbers, and ensures more accurate stock control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Creating a New Stock Adjustment Document<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
To begin a stock adjustment, click + New<\/strong> in the Stock Adjustment menu. Select the Source Location<\/strong> where the stock currently exists and choose the appropriate Product Category<\/strong> from the dropdown. After entering these details, click Save<\/strong>, and Odoo will automatically generate a unique Stock Adjustment Document Number for reference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you select Validate<\/strong> before adding any products, Odoo will display a validation saying: \u201cNo scrap lines with products found. Please add products to validate.\u201d <\/strong>This means that at least one product must be added before proceeding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Products can be added to the Stock Adjustment document either by typing the product code, entering the product name, or scanning the lot\/serial barcode. Since the product is tracked by unique serial numbers, Odoo will require you to select the correct serial number for each item added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Once a serial number is selected, Odoo automatically displays important information such as the Lot Barcode<\/strong>, On-Hand Quantity<\/strong>, and GRN Date<\/strong>. The Lot Barcode appears only if the serial number has an assigned barcode. The On-Hand Quantity is always based on the selected Source Location, and for serial-number products it will always show 1 or 0<\/strong>, since each serial represents one physical item. The GRN Date indicates when the specific serial was received into stock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can add multiple products in a single document and can even add the same product multiple times as long as each entry has a different serial number. However, if you try to add the same product with the same serial number more than once, Odoo will display a validation message: \u201c[Product Code + Product Name] Insufficient Quantity To Scrap\u201d<\/strong>, indicating that the serial number cannot be used again because its available quantity has already been recorded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n After selecting a serial number, you can enter the Counted Quantity<\/strong>. For serial-tracked products, this quantity must always be 1 or 0<\/strong>. If you enter any value greater than 1, Odoo will stop you with a validation message: \u201cThe serial number has already been assigned: Product: <\/strong>[<\/strong>Product Code + Product Name<\/strong>]<\/strong>, Serial Number: <\/strong>[<\/strong>Lot\/Serial number<\/strong>]<\/strong>.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The system then automatically calculates the Adjusted Quantity<\/strong> based on the difference between On-Hand and Counted Quantity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For serial-based products, Odoo automatically displays the Average Cost<\/strong> tied to the selected serial number. The Total Value<\/strong> of the stock adjustment is then calculated by multiplying the Adjusted Quantity with the product\u2019s cost. This helps maintain accurate inventory valuation whenever quantities change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Once all product entries and quantities are correct, click Validate<\/strong>. After validation, Odoo updates the on-hand quantity, total value, and average cost for every affected serial number. This ensures your inventory remains precise and fully aligned with the actual physical stock available in your warehouse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Managing items tracked by unique serial numbers requires extra care, especially when performing stock adjustments.
