Missing inventory account in stock location

[Salim]

Hi,

After having installed the OpenERP 6, I noticed the field Inventory Account in the Stock Location form is missing.
Is it a bug or there is other way of tracking accounting entries in stock movements in this release ?

Regards,

Salim

Hello, I have the same question as can't find it neither in the location view, neither in the stock.location field. Has this moved in some module? If yes, which one, can't find it either. Thanks.

I'm curious about this as well. Without an associated account, I'm not sure how to make the appropriate entries. There needs to be a way to map inventory loss, reserved material, etc, etc. to an account and have the appropriate moves made (as it was in 5.0).
v6 only seems to support accounting entries for 3 types of moves - supplier to internal, internal to customer and intercompany.

For me it is also not nice surprise. I hope we will get explanation why it is removed and maybe what we get instead. From my localization point of view inventory accounting on location level was not perfect solution (we would prefer on Warehouse level) but now I see no solution. Definitely we have to make accounting for production moves, for periodical inventory and in some companies for internal stock moves. I cannot imagine such big regression. I hope it means 6.0 is simply quite far to release.

Hello,

The inventory valuation accounts are now all found on the Product and Product Category forms only, because they often need to be configured by Product [Category] rather than have it global on the stock.location.
You can get more details by looking at the tooltips on the Accounting properties on the product and product categories form.

Hope this helps... I'm converting to a question because this may become a FAQ.
