​Implementing cyclic inventory counts for products with zero on-hand quantities in Odoo is essential for maintaining accurate stock records. Here's how to ensure these products are included in your inventory adjustments:​

1. Understanding Odoo's Default Behavior:

By default, Odoo's inventory adjustment view displays products with a non-zero quantity on hand. Products with zero stock are typically excluded from this list, which can pose challenges during cyclic counts. ​

2. Manually Adding Zero-Quantity Products:

To include products with zero quantity in your inventory adjustments:

• Navigate to Inventory Adjustments:
  • Go to Inventory → Operations → Inventory Adjustments.
• Create a New Inventory Adjustment:
  • Click on Create to initiate a new adjustment.​
• Add Products Manually:
  • In the adjustment line, select the product with zero quantity.​
  • Enter the Counted Quantity based on your physical count.

This method allows you to account for products not automatically listed due to their zero on-hand quantity. ​

3. Utilizing Filters and Grouping:

To streamline the inclusion of zero-quantity products:

• Apply Filters:
  • In the Inventory Adjustments view, use filters to display all products, regardless of their on-hand quantity.​
• Group By Location:
  • Organize products by their storage location to ensure comprehensive counting within specific areas.​

These techniques enhance visibility and facilitate a more thorough inventory counting process.​

4. Scheduling Regular Counts:

• Set Inventory Frequency:
  • Assign an Inventory Frequency to each storage location to schedule regular counts.​
• Monitor Scheduled Dates:
  • Use the Next Expected Inventory Date to plan and execute cyclic counts effectively.​

Regular scheduling helps maintain inventory accuracy and identifies discrepancies promptly.​
