Validate a transfer on the date it actually happened
A back-date prompt on validation - and the transfer, its moves, its lines, its valuation layers and its journal entries all carry that date.
Inventory Backdate (technical name viin_stock_backdate) is an Odoo 17.0 app for Odoo Community and Odoo Enterprise and Viindoo Cloud, built for warehouse operator, cost accountant, controller, auditor.
At a Glance
The facts of Inventory Backdate, version 0.4, in one place. Published by Viindoo.
How It Works
One prompt, at validation.
Validate, and say when
The date defaults to now; changing it moves everything the validation produces with it.
The transfer keeps that date
Nothing else about the transfer changes - the same operations, the same reservations.
And so does the valuation
The layers carry the back-dated date, which is what makes a closed period true.
What You Get
A Validate with a Back Date prompt on transfers
The date reaches the moves, the move lines and the valuation layers
Accounting entries post in the period the movement belongs to
The same for inventory adjustments and for scrap
Restricted to a group, so back-dating is a permission
Everyone else validates exactly as before

What This App Does Not Do
Read this before you buy. Everything below is something the app deliberately leaves to another app or to you.
Odoo's accounting lock still applies - back-dating is not a way past it.
Stock availability is evaluated as usual; only the recorded date changes.
Users outside the back-date group never see the prompt.
The wizard exists for recording what already happened.
