Odoo Inventory: what it does, and what’s new in 20
Odoo Inventory is a double-entry stock system: every move has a source and destination location, which is what makes multi-warehouse, consignment and in-transit stock auditable rather than approximate.
Routes and rules (pull/push, reordering, dropship, cross-dock) are the configuration language; get them right and replenishment runs itself.
