Hello Odoo Community,

I am seeking advice on how to perform an inventory in Odoo for a past date. The issue I am encountering is that our inventory counting process can take several days, and by the time we apply the inventory adjustments, the date may not accurately reflect the state of the inventory at the start of the count.

Here's the situation:

  1. We conducted an inventory count starting one month ago, which took a few days to complete.
  2. During this time, several stock movements (incoming and outgoing) have occurred.
  3. We need to ensure that our inventory adjustments reflect the accurate quantities and valuations as of the start date of the count.

Additionally, I have seen numerous third-party applications that might address this need, but I would like to know how to achieve this using Odoo's standard features.

Could anyone provide insights or best practices on how to handle such inventory adjustments for past dates in Odoo? Any tips or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

It is not possible in Odoo standard functionality. 

And it is not a good practice to do so either.  Every stock movement create also a accounting entry. So you will easily create differences between stock value and accounting

Also best practice for   inventory is:  Before start, make sure all actual movements have been done.  During the time it take to make the inventory and register the result, no movement should take physical place or be registered in the warehouse system. 

The rules is to make certain that the result of the inventory is correct.  An incorrect inventory can have the result that stock list are less correct than before.  Perform inventory is a high risk activity.

My recommendation is to see how inventory can be done quicker (barcode reading might be a tool), or split into smaller part (like limit the location to perform) to improve control.
