Comment 1 for bug 697273

You are right, this is due to the fact that all inventory valuation accounts have been changed to be product[category]-wise, and not location-wise anymore. It makes your use case difficult indeed, so we should add something to support dedicated accounts for physical inventories, production, etc.

Your suggestion to add pairs of properties on Products would work indeed, but it means we have to duplicate the properties for all specific location types (Production, Inventory, but perhaps Procurement too?). And as the input and output accounts are the same, it is perhaps more flexible to set them on the stock location again, as it was in v5.

By changing the valuation system to pick the accounts on the product, _unless_ one is set on the location, we would have the best of both worlds. If we put the appropriate tooltips/help on the stock location and product form, it should be flexible and sufficiently user-friendly...

I am assigning this to the responsible R&D team for resolution.

Thanks for reporting!
