Part 5 Warehouse Management

Warehouse management is where products become real stock movements: receipts from vendors, deliveries to customers, internal transfers, replenishment, barcodes, putaway, storage categories, delivery methods, and inventory valuation. In Odoo, inventory is not just a quantity field on a product. It is a system of warehouses, locations, operation types, stock moves, move lines, routes, and valuation records.

This part starts with core inventory concepts, then explains locations, operation types, reordering rules, barcode operations, putaway rules, storage categories, delivery methods, and cost valuation. The goal is to help readers understand how Odoo records every movement from one location to another, and why sales, purchase, manufacturing, and accounting all depend on reliable inventory configuration.
