Introduction

In Openbravo ERP most of Warehouse movements are created automatically based on the transactions of sales process, procurement process and production process. But the user can manually or with assisted processes generate new movements in the warehouses:

• Physical inventory
• Goods movements between different warehouses or bins
• Productions based on bill of materials

Other processes allow calculating the medium costs and the valued stock of the inventory.

Openbravo ERP allows analysing these movements with different analysis tools.
