In the Odoo default setup, the account type for the Product Category is set up as follow:

Stock Input Account -> Current Assets

Stock Output Account ->  Current Assets

Stock Valuation Account -> Current Assets

Do all those account must be linked with the Current Assets?

You need to turn on the anglo Saxon Accounting to get the liability cleared at the time of bill creation - Input Account Dr to Payables Cr

As per my knowledge,

Stock Input Account is an interim account for parking the "accounting payable"during 'Receive Products" because later this will get knocked off against the Vendor (Accounts Payable) during creation of Vendor Bill. 

So this account type should be 'Current Liabilities'

Similarly Stock Output Account is an interim account for parking the "accounts receivable" during "Shipments" because later this will get setoff against the Customer (Accounts Receivable) while creating Customer Bill.

So the type should be "Current Assets"


Stock Valuation Account is nothing but the account showing real value (current value) of assets. So this must be Current Assets.


So the accounts must be linked as follows:

Stock Input Account-> Current liabilities

Stock Output Account-> Current assets

Stock Valuation Account -> Current assets

I have tested this, and Purchase receipts debit the Stock Valuation account (increasing assets) and credit the Stock Input account, which creates a negative asset (which is a liability). So the accounting postings are correct with the Stock Input account defined as an asset account, even though this may look wrong.

This may be simpler to understand if there was one "interim" account for both receipts and issues rather than having separate accounts.

As an amendment to Jijus perfect answer, by default Odoo comes with a minimum set of accounts needed to make Odoo work. This not a chart of accounts. CoA are defined in the localization modules according to the legal requirements of the corresponding country.
