Why No Journal Entry Is Created:

• Internal transfers are purely logistical operations — they move stock between internal locations like warehouses or shelves.
• No cost impact or ownership change occurs, so Odoo’s accounting system doesn’t record it as a financial transaction.

When Journal Entries Are Created in Inventory:

1. Customer Delivery (Outgoing Shipment)
   → Debit: Cost of Goods Sold (COGS)
   → Credit: Inventory Valuation
2. Vendor Receipt (Incoming Shipment)
   → Debit: Inventory Valuation
   → Credit: GRNI or Account Payable (based on configuration)
3. Manufacturing or Scrap
   → Also generates entries depending on the valuation setup.

If You Need Journal Entries for Internal Transfers:

You can achieve this using one of the following:

Option 1: Enable Automated Valuation with Custom Locations

• Use automated inventory valuation (real-time) with separate accounts per location.
• Set up stock valuation accounts per location in Inventory > Locations > Accounting.

Option 2: Create a Custom Module

• Use stock.picking and account.move models to auto-generate accounting entries during internal transfer.
• Trigger on done state of the transfer.

Internal Inventory transfers don't generate Journal Entries.

You need to deliver and receive the product, then use the Landed Cost feature to add the transporation costs of the movement.

• Internal Transfers are meant when the movement is near instant and/or done by one person and/or there is no chance of loss or damage of goods and/or incurs no fee.
• Deliveries and Receipts are meant when the movement takes time and/or is done by more than one person and/or there is a chance of loss or damage of goods and/or incurs a fee.
