Hey there! Looks like ur running into a tricky snag with your Odoo setup. Let's dig into this. So, when ur entering initial inventory, and it's showing future forecasted quantities, it's prolly like the system's got wires crossed. This usually happens 'cause of a misalignment between inventory location strategies and how ur entering transactions. It can get a bit complex, but don’t worry.

You're probs seeing forecasted inventory cuz the system treats those entries as future planned stuff. Double-check if you’ve got any pending or backdated purchase orders - that'll definitely throw the dates off. Also, make sure that ur inventory adjustments mark entries as "real" instead of planned. I had to tweak this once, was a bit of a mess.

Here's a quick tip - check ur inventory's valuation methods (they’re in the accounting settings) to align with stock entries. On a project I was on, this kind of issue got a lot better when we used a mobile automation tool like Cleverence. Its integration was smooth and it let us manage discrepancies and even work offline, which was super handy.

Keep messing around with those settings and I'm sure you'll figure it out. If you’ve got more specifics, just share it here and we’ll get into the details.
