I want to know by how much (financially) a cycle count / inventory adjustment / physcial inventory will impact us.

In our industry, adjustments of more than 3% of our average monthly sales can cause us to be out of compliance with industry regulations.

How can I see the "cost" or "impact" or "variance" of each count / adjustment to make sure the total change in a given month is within 3%?

In other systems I have used, there are reports called: Stock Variance, Inventory Variation, Inventory Write-Off, Cycle Count Variance, etc.

The goal is to analyze the financial impact of inventory adjustments, calculate inventory variance as a percentage of sales, and monitor inventory adjustment compliance.

Without either of these changes, you can already Filter the Physical Inventory by "To Apply" and export the product, on hand quantity, value, counted quantity, and difference to calculate the variance outside of Odoo.


To do this inside Odoo, one of the following solutions should work:


UPDATED FOR Odoo 19.0:

Create a custom x_variance field:


Use an Automation Rule (this will NOT trigger Line of Code - LOC - maintenance charges):

record.value / record.quantity * record.inventory_diff_quantity if record.inventory_quantity != 0 else 0


Then finally a Custom View like this:

<data>
   
<field name="quantity" position="after">
  <field name="currency_id" column_invisible="1"/>
  <field name="value" groups="account.group_account_user"
sum="Total" options="{'currency_field': 'currency_id'}"/> 
</field>

<field name="lot_properties" position="after">
  <field name="x_variance" groups="account.group_account_user"
sum="Total" options="{'currency_field': 'currency_id'}"/>   
</field>

</data>


This restricts the value and variance fields to those in the Accounting --> Book Keeping group.


Result:




UPDATED FOR Odoo 18.0:


Given the following values and costing methods for Products:


The Physical Inventory Menu would then show something like this:

Here, the loss of 1 unit of each product has a financial impact of $29 in lost value.


Custom Field (this WILL trigger Line of Code - LOC - maintenance charges):

Dependencies:

inventory_quantity_set, product_id

Compute:

for record in self:
    cost = 0.0
    if record.inventory_quantity_set:
        product = record.product_id
        if product.cost_method in ['standard', 'average']:
            cost = product.standard_price
        elif product.cost_method == 'fifo':
            valuation_layers = record.env['stock.valuation.layer'].search([
                ('product_id', '=', product.id),('remaining_qty', '>', 0)], order='create_date asc')
            qty_to_consume = abs(record.inventory_diff_quantity)
            cost = 0.0
            for layer in valuation_layers:
                if qty_to_consume <= 0:
                    break
                qty_from_layer = min(layer.remaining_qty, qty_to_consume)
                cost += qty_from_layer * (layer.unit_cost or 0.0)
                qty_to_consume -= qty_from_layer
    record['x_impact'] = record.inventory_diff_quantity * cost


Note: these are prototypes, not solutions, and make assumptions about how products are deplenished from inventory (financial fifo). Your Odoo Digital Advisor or Odoo Partner can help you implement something similar in your own Odoo database. You can also extend these approaches to calculate the percentage variance.
