This module allows users to register stock moves with a past date (i.e., a date different from the current one). It is especially useful for accurately reflecting historical stock movements and maintaining correct inventory records.
If Perpetual Inventory Valuation is enabled, the generated journal entries will reflect the chosen backdated date accordingly.
auto_awesome What this module does
AI-generated from the code · Odoo 18.0Lets warehouse users record stock moves, inventory adjustments and scrap with a past date instead of today's date, so historical stock and accounting entries match reality.
This module adds a backdating date to several stock operations so you can register them as if they happened in the past.
- On transfer operations (stock.move.line), a new field "Actual Movement Date" appears in the detailed operations list. You can also use the "Fill Actual Movement Date" button on a transfer to set the same date on all its operations at once.
- On transfers (stock.picking), a "Forced Effective Date" is shown when all operations share the same backdate, and the transfer's completion date is set to the latest move date.
- On inventory adjustments (stock.quant), an "Actual Inventory Date" field is available in inventory mode; when applied, the adjustment and its stock move lines use that date.
- On scrap orders (stock.scrap), a "Forced Effective Date" field lets you date the scrap in the past.
Business rules: a date in the future is refused with an error. When backdating is used, the related stock valuation layers and accounting journal entries are dated with the chosen date, and currency conversion for purchase prices uses that date. The module touches stock.move, stock.move.line, stock.picking, stock.quant and stock.scrap, and adds a small wizard fill.date.backdating.
