Chasing down a discrepancy in Odoo

Every finance team has the number that will not reconcile. The bank balance is off by a consistent amount. The inventory valuation disagrees with the general ledger. Two reports that should agree don't, and the last person who understood why has left.

These are miserable to chase by hand because the answer is almost never where you start looking. It's a journal entry posted twice, a product with a costing method nobody changed, a date filter on a report that quietly excludes a week. Finding it means walking the records, and the records are the part nobody has time for.

CodeCobra reads your live database and walks them for you. It comes back with the cause and the specific records that demonstrate it — not a confident summary you have to take on trust. If it can't establish something, it says so rather than producing a plausible number.

Nothing is changed while it investigates. An Odoo connection set to Read cannot write, so you can point it at production and get an answer without any possibility of it altering what it's looking at.

What people asked, and what came back

Real production requests, condensed and with anything identifying removed.

ControllerManufacturing
Why is my bank balance off by $35,000 every month for June and July? Is there an entry we made that caused it?

What happened: Traced it to a journal entry posted in June and repeated in July, found the balancing side hit Cost of Goods Sold, and drafted the reversal — waiting on approval before touching anything.

ControllerManufacturing
Outstanding receipts as of June 30 show $977K. What makes that up — is it payments that never bank-matched?

What happened: Broke the balance down into its components and isolated exactly which portion was payments that never matched a bank statement line.

OperationsDistribution
Are internal notes being printed on my pickup tickets?

What happened: Yes — found the exact ticket where internal pricing notes printed under two products, and the template line responsible. Corrected its own first theory when the real order contradicted it.

OperationsDistribution
Why does this product take the contractor pricelist price for a retail customer instead of the retail price?

What happened: Diagnosed the pricelist rule — then warned that the obvious fix alone would make 70 items bill $0.00 on another price list, and fixed both.

OwnerManufacturing
Based on inventory for this item, how many pieces did I actually get out of each metric ton?

What happened: Computed the true delivered cost per tonne — base price plus landed charges, 44.6% on top of the raw material price — pulled live from his own inventory.

OperationsDistribution
Review these orders — why didn't they auto-invoice?

What happened: Walked both orders through the auto-invoice conditions and named the one condition each of them failed.

ControllerManufacturing
This delivery shows delivered to the customer, but the stock moves say it went to a different address. Why?

What happened: Followed the stock moves and explained the mismatch between the order's address and where the goods actually shipped.

ControllerManufacturing
There's a payment of $575.65 and another of $486.19, both reconciled. Can you see them?

What happened: Found both payments, confirmed their reconciliation state and showed what each one was matched against.

ControllerManufacturing
Is there a $750 charge that hasn't been matched to the bank yet? If so, which one?

What happened: Identified the single unmatched $750 charge and the statement line it belonged to.

DeveloperEvents
When we process a purchase order connector record, do we create new lines from the ticket group or from the purchase order item?

What happened: Read the connector source and answered precisely — and along the way found a shadowed logging module that had been silently breaking log output.

  • I have a case with 496kg on it and I don't see it in stock on the computer. Could you locate this case for me?Owner · Manufacturing
  • I manually added numbers under quantity and clicked check availability even though no stock is picked. It won't let me validate, but it does change the status to ready. Is that a bug?Consultant · Distribution
  • I sold samples to a potential buyer and also one box of items I don't have in stock — I had the one box from trying the mould, but I never produced a whole coil.Owner · Manufacturing
  • I'm reviewing my landed cost. If I'm dividing the cost between products by quantity and the products cost the same amount, how come the split comes out the way it does?Consultant · Manufacturing
  • I'm trying to batch these up and I can't, because two of them were already batched. How do I undo that so I can batch them all together?Controller · Manufacturing
  • I'm trying to understand how barcode generation works here — how barcodes get generated automatically for a product and for item packaging at each level.Consultant · Wholesale
  • I'm using the Odoo consignment feature. I understand how to receive stock and sell it to a customer — how do I pay the vendor once the stock sells?Consultant · Publishing
  • If an order is already validated and delivered as a dropship and already invoiced, and now we realise it was a warehouse stock delivery — is there anything to do now?Controller · Manufacturing
  • If I don't have a dropship, either because it was cancelled or otherwise, and I need a new one — do I reset the purchase order to draft and confirm, or cancel and confirm?Controller · Manufacturing
  • If I enter an invoice without a sales order in Odoo, will it make a move in stock?Controller · Manufacturing
  • If this charge is for two purchase orders delivered to one place, how do I enter it in Odoo? The container had another PO so I can't put the charge on the container, and it isn't equal across the POs.Controller · Manufacturing
  • If we want to invoice a customer for goods sitting in the warehouse, and not invoice when it leaves, but still show that we have it in stock — how should we go about that?Controller · Manufacturing
  • In default Odoo 18, say a sales order has one line for 6 of a product, but the stock on order is 4 from one company and 2 from another. How do we handle that in Odoo?Developer · Events

  • On this item it looks like it cost me more than every other item. I want to double-check whether that's right or whether there's a mistake.Owner · Manufacturing
  • On this item's moves I see 46 boxes delivered, but when I click into it I see 1,142. Why?Controller · Manufacturing
  • On this serial number's traceability report it shows it went out on one transfer and came back on another, but the return isn't part of the original sales order. Why?Operations · Events
  • Our new employee says he can't scan a return ticket and validate it. Can you confirm whether that's true or not?Operations · Distribution
  • The client wants new ready pickings to refresh automatically in the barcode app so the list is always up to date, without going out of the operation and back in. Is there any way to do that?Consultant · Food service
  • The ocean freight of $3,700 shows as a landed cost against two purchase orders, but when I open the landed cost it's only applied against one of them. Why?Controller · Manufacturing
  • The sales order is for 24 but the dropship is 7 on demand. Why not 24?Controller · Manufacturing
  • The vendor said they shipped one quantity and it came into the warehouse as delivered, and the customer says they got a different quantity. How can we add stock for the difference without affecting cost of goods?Controller · Manufacturing
  • There are 60 of these going out, so none in stock to use. Can you let me know which sales orders they're on?Controller · Manufacturing
  • There's a dropship for 130 and another for 8,000. Why does it show only 1,300 received?Controller · Manufacturing
  • This container has two transfers. Is the whole transaction entered correctly? Why isn't it on one dropship — if we have a container, shouldn't the dropship be on the container?Controller · Manufacturing
  • This is a plain out-of-the-box Odoo question — don't consider custom development. I'd rather solve it without building anything. I use a third-party logistics warehouse.Consultant · Manufacturing
  • This landed cost has air freight on it, and air freight isn't included in duties. How can I remove it and have the full cost go against the products only?Controller · Manufacturing
  • This product has an average cost of $62.19, but it's never been purchased for more than $48. Can you give me a breakdown of how Odoo arrived at that cost?Consultant · Distribution
  • This product was adjusted in stock with a $0 value. It was fixed afterwards. Is there any way I can fix the valuation?Consultant · Manufacturing

  • This sales order shows as delivered but it really wasn't — we returned it. Why does it show delivered but received zero?Controller · Manufacturing
  • This sales order shows three dropships, all cancelled, but it really did deliver and there's an invoice. Can I just add another dropship to show it delivered and all will be fine?Controller · Manufacturing
  • This serial number is showing in two locations?Operations · Events
  • This shows as delivered to the customer, but when I look at the moves I see it was delivered to the warehouse. Why?Controller · Manufacturing
  • This was delivered to the other warehouse last week, which means we have plenty of stock for that item there. Somehow, when I try to enter a purchase order for it, it doesn't see it.Controller · Manufacturing
  • We have an order validated for 11,100 and the bill came in for 11,100, but the customer says they received 11,500. Is there a way to update the invoice without saying we delivered 11,500?Controller · Manufacturing
  • We received a bill into the warehouse for 900 but the warehouse says they only got 800. We want to pay for 900, so how do I enter a credit for 100 boxes to scrap, so inventory drops by 100?Controller · Manufacturing

  • A sales order doesn't go on credit hold when a partial payment is added, if the quotation was already sent to the customer. The credit check only runs for orders still in quotation state.Developer · ERP consulting

  • I saw a pop-up saying someone signed an order, but I can't find which one it was.Consultant · ERP consulting

  • Is there a way to filter sales orders that have a message from the customer and are pending a response?Operations · Distribution
  • Is this possible through configuration, or does it need development? Can we set the default delivery address to always be the company address, even when another delivery contact is saved?Consultant · Publishing
  • Just thinking and I could use some help. We have a payment app and a credit hold. If a customer is on immediate payment we hold the order until payment is received, so no delivery picking is made.Consultant · ERP consulting
  • Loading the product list view or the form view takes a significant amount of time. Why?Consultant · Import & wholesale
  • Look at the two product blueprints that were set in the "product info" attribute group. Was that group added to the product automatically, or did someone do it by hand?Consultant · Manufacturing

  • Which products did we sell below cost last month, and on which orders?Owner · Wholesale
  • Which tenants haven't paid this month's rent?Operations · Small business
  • Why are there several sets of chips on this sales order? If the products have the same specs it makes one set and groups the products together.Consultant · Manufacturing
  • Why can't I confirm this? I know I don't have the stock yet, but I want to create the sales order now and ship it as soon as the stock comes in. There's a purchase order in for 64,000.Controller · Manufacturing
  • Why does adding this product to a sales order set the price to 10 cents? It should be computing the price from its component.Consultant · Wholesale
  • Why doesn't this order match this fulfilment status?Consultant · Manufacturing
  • Why doesn't this variant pull from the default price sheet for this customer?Owner · Import & wholesale
  • Why is this product combination not available?Consultant · Retail
  • Why is this sales order all out of whack? It doesn't reflect what was delivered and it's asking me to invoice items that are correctly added and delivered.Operations · Distribution

Purchasing & vendors

  • A vendor bills me for ocean freight on a container they shipped, and then another vendor sends me a bill for the same thing. I want to catch that and prevent it.Consultant · Manufacturing

  • How come the specs didn't come up on the purchase order?Controller · Manufacturing

  • If I add a subcontracted service to a sales order, is there any way to set the cost of the sales order line automatically once the purchase order is confirmed?Consultant · Manufacturing
  • If I want to add more quantity to an existing purchase order or RFQ, can I? And if so, how do I do it?Owner · Manufacturing
  • The down-payment bill was deleted and the purchase order still shows a down payment of $750. Why?Controller · Manufacturing
  • The vendor billed us for 15,600 and the customer is saying they received 14,620. How do we enter that in Odoo — what do we validate for?Controller · Manufacturing

  • There's a down payment of $4,106.88 on this purchase order but it was never sent and there's no bill for it. How can I remove it?Controller · Manufacturing
  • There's a project in the CRM where two vendors were verified. What was the pricing?Controller · Manufacturing
  • This purchase order shows as ready to bill and order delivered, but we only validated part of the order and entered a bill against that. How come it still shows as delivered and ready to bill?Controller · Manufacturing
  • This vendor is set up but doesn't show up when I try entering a bill. Why?Controller · Manufacturing
  • This was returned. Should I delete the bill and return the dropship? We haven't invoiced yet.Controller · Manufacturing
  • We broker the manufacture of packaging products, and vendors often over- or under-ship an order.Consultant · Manufacturing
  • We have four separate orders that each need the same item. They were added to the purchase order as four separate line items instead of being combined into one. Can you advise why?Consultant · Distribution
  • We need to be able to delete a purchase order. Sometimes we mess up, enter a receipt against the wrong name, and need to delete it after returning the item. Is that even possible?Consultant · Small business

  • What's the best way to reorder everything that needs ordering from one vendor, and how do I do it?Operations · Distribution

  • Look at Odoo's core mail handling, specifically for Outlook. Is there any way to limit the batch size for the emails going out?Consultant · Manufacturing
  • Look at this customer record — when I scroll down the chatter it's very long, because of one very long email. Doesn't Odoo normally collapse longer messages?Consultant · Distribution

Does it change anything while investigating?

No. Set the connection to Read and it physically cannot write, whatever anyone asks it to do. Investigations are the safest thing you can do with CodeCobra, which is why most people start here.

How do I know the answer is right?

Because it shows you the records. A good answer names the specific entries, orders or moves that produce the discrepancy, so you can open them in Odoo and check. Ask for them if they aren't offered.

What if it can't find the cause?

It tells you, and tells you what it ruled out. A hedged answer is information — it means the data genuinely doesn't support a conclusion, usually because a field was never filled in or the history predates your Odoo instance.
