Introduction

The Physical Stock Inventory Count & Adjustment with Session-Based Management module advances inventory operations in Odoo by introducing session-based stocktaking workflows. Instead of performing ad hoc counts, this module enables users to define count sessions (by warehouse, zone, or product groups), conduct controlled physical inventory counts, and post adjustments in an organized, auditable manner. With session logic, the module improves count accuracy, reduces disruption to ongoing operations, and ensures transparent stock control across locations.

Key Features

• Create and manage inventory count sessions per warehouse, zone, or product category

• Record physical quantities during sessions using counting interface

• Compare counted quantities with system quantities and compute variances

• Post stock adjustments automatically based on session discrepancies

• Track session status (draft, in progress, completed)

• Restrict counting operations to assigned session scope

• Audit trail of adjustments and count history

• Integration with Odoo’s stock, inventory adjustment, and reporting processes

Benefits

• Enhances accuracy of physical inventory through session control

• Minimizes operational disruption during stocktake tasks

• Simplifies adjustment posting with automatic variance computation

• Improves auditability and traceability of inventory changes

• Supports better inventory control and reduces shrinkage risk

• Organizes counting by sessions to enable scalable operations

Compatibility & Technical Details

• Technical name: (based on module’s internal manifest)

• License: consistent with original module license

  • Users perform counts within those sessions
  • System computes differences between physical and system quantities
  • Adjustments are posted automatically to reconcile variances

• Supports multi-location counting and granular session segmentation
