I purchase stockable products to sell.

Sometimes, I also need these products internally.   I would like these products to be expensed, just like when I order consumables.

I need Odoo to debit my expense account for their value. 

How do I do this in the Warehouse and/or in Accounting properly?

This method might work for you:

  • Setup a Location "Internal Consumption" which is an Inventory Loss location, with a Stock Valuation Account matching the Expense account you want to use to book the value of the asset you are consuming.
  • SCRAP to this Internal Consumption location when you consume products.

Since when you receive a stockable item into inventory Odoo will DEBIT your Inventory Valuation account for the value, this method CREDITS your Inventory Valuation account and DEBITS the Expense account. 


Effectively you are moving the value of the asset you consume from your Balance Sheet to your Income Statement as an expense.


  1. Create an LOCATION that you can move your Products to when they are consumed

The Outgoing Stock Valuation account is the Expense account you want debited when you consume the product(s).

If you have more than one Expense account, create more than one location.


2. Create a Scrap operation each time you consume something


This will decrease your inventory quantity and value, and expense the cost.


From the location you can see all products that have been consumed.
