Odoo 17 introduces enhanced valuation logic, but common issues arise from misconfigured settings or misunderstandings of how valuation works.
Common Causes:
-
Incorrect Product Configuration:
- Valuation Method: FIFO, Average, Standard — ensure it's correctly set.
- Costing: Automated vs Manual.
- Category must have automated inventory valuation with proper journal entries set.
-
Missing Accounts in Product Category:
- Check if Stock Input/Output, Inventory Valuation, and Expense/Revenue accounts are defined.
-
Anglo-Saxon vs Continental Accounting:
- Make sure the right method is applied in your company settings.
-
Journal Entries Not Created:
- Happens if products are received but not validated properly or accounting periods are closed.
-
Stock Moves without Quant Values:
- Internal transfers or scrapped items not reflecting due to incorrect or missing quant updates.
