In Odoo, inventory is tracked only for storable products. Once a product has been used in a transaction, its configuration cannot be changed to storable. Therefore, it is crucial to set up products correctly from the start.
Here is how to set up a product as storable:
- In Odoo 17 and earlier versions, a product is storable if its
Product Type is set to "Storable." - In Odoo 18, a product is storable if:
- The
Product Type is set to "Goods." - The
Track Inventory option is enabled.
- The
Without the Track Inventory option enabled, the product will be treated as Consumable, and inventory tracking will not be possible.
Important: Ensure that products are configured properly to avoid issues later in your inventory process.
