If all those entries are blank, it suggests you haven't installed any Fiscal Localization.

See Inventory valuation configuration (later versions are available but seem to be less clear):

In Anglo-Saxon accounting, the costs of goods sold (COGS) are reported when products are sold or delivered. This means that the cost of a good is only recorded as an expense when a customer is invoiced for a product. Interim Stock Accounts are used for the input and output accounts, and are both Asset Accounts in the balance sheet.
In Continental accounting, the cost of a good is reported as soon as a product is received into stock. Additionally, a single Expense account is used for both input and output accounts.

For so-called Anglo-Saxon accounting, the interim account(s) will need to be created in the Chart of Accounts, and can be the same account for both input and output (or separate).  In theory they always balance to zero but in practice they will contain balances that you need to check and clear out.  Also, as standard this account is used for Inventory Adjustment postings and wastage, which is not logical and you'll need to change the setting for these virtual locations.

The Stock Valuation Account is also a Current Asset (Balance Sheet) account and should already exist.


The latest version of the Odoo documentation says this:

In Continental accounting, the cost of a good is reported as soon as a product is received into stock. Because of this, the Expense Account can be set to either Expenses or a Cost of Revenue type, however, it is more commonly set to an Expenses account

Expenses and Cost of Revenue are both P&L accounts.  As is it recorded at the time of receipt rather than sale, it seems illogical to call it Cost of Revenue, but I'm not an Accountant!

Inventory postings and stock valuation

my problem is that inventory valuation is not equal to the inventory balance I want to solve this can you help me?

That's a different question, and unfortunately there can be many different reasons for a discrepancy.

Hi,

For Contental Accounting, it is advisable to follow this Account Mapping. You can either get 0 value in input account or utilize a common transit account. The recording of COGS should occur upon product delivery.

for anglo can i use same this ?

No. For Anglo you can use
Income Account: Product Sales
Expense Account: Cost of Goods Sold
Stock Valuation Account: Stock Valuation
Stock Input Account: Stock Interim (Received)
Stock Output Account: Stock Interim (Delivered)

When we set the expense account as stock interim (received) account in current asset type, it defeats the purpose of setting the continental accounting.
If that is the setting, we might just turn on the Anglo Saxon setting.

Agreed. This recommended setup seems wrong for Continental Accounting!

Hi.

Does it mean that in Continental Accounting the 'Input' is never would be zero?

Hi,
Input & Output should be zero if there's no difference in either PO-Vendor Bill & Quote-Invoice.

Hello Alexander,

If you set the product category valuation as automated, I would suggest configuring the same GL account in stock input account and stock output account.

It will be balanced when you sell everything you purchased.

It will not balanced against the vendor bill since in continental accounting environment, the vendor bill is debit to expense account not stock input account.

How should the cost of production account be zero?
