This behaviour is contrary to GAAP and should be fixed sooner rather than later.
A simple example of stock being counted on the last day of the financial year, but entered the next day, leads to the stock adjustments and associated journals being posted in the wrong year, which would need an extra reversing journal to be calculated and entered to make the stock value correct in that period.
Other examples where there are stock movements between stock count and stock entry (some as outlined above), all suffer the worse problem of introducing stock quantity errors. This therefore limits the use to preventing an entries between stock take and data entry, which in many businesses is not possible. This one feature would prevent this software being considered by most companies.
Correct treatment would be to calculate the OpenERP stock quantity at the "Creation Date" of the Physical Inventory, and make any adjustment stock movements the difference between the actual count and the calculated quantities, also with the date of the "Creation Date". This will enter the correct stock values in the correct dates and periods.
