Odoo 18 Inventory Accounting support

Temporary Assignment | Melbourne (Onsite) | 1 to 2 weeks plus support A growing Melbourne-based manufacturing and building materials business is looking for an experienced Odoo 18 Support for a short, well-defined remediation assignment.

The situation An internal review of the July 2026 P&L; found negative balances in the Cost of Goods Sold and Inventory Movement accounts. The root causes are known:

- Product categories set to Standard Price costing and Manual valuation, so vendor bills expense straight to COGS while stock is still on hand
- Vendor bills entered with $0.00 unit prices
- Near-daily manual on-hand quantity adjustments in place of receipts and deliveries
- Ad-hoc production entries with no matching component consumption
- Products carrying no cost
- Bank transactions coded directly to the COGS account

We know what is wrong. We need someone who has fixed this before to fix it properly.

What you will do

- Review every product category and redesign the configuration: Average Cost, Automated valuation, correct Stock Input, Output and Valuation accounts, with COGS reserved for customer invoices only
- Plan and run the Standard-to-AVCO and Manual-to-Automated migration, tested in staging first, cut over at month-end
- Investigate and correct zero-value bills and tighten purchase-to-pay controls (bill control policy, mandatory pricing, price difference account)
- Map manual adjustments and ad-hoc production to the right Odoo processes, including bills of materials and manufacturing orders, and restrict adjustment access
- Cleanse product master data so every storable product has a valid cost, with an exception report to keep it that way




- Reconcile the affected accounts, reclassify miscoded bank entries, prepare correcting journals for CFO approval and deliver a restated July gross margin
- Lock the system accounts, build the month-end inventory and COGS checklist, train warehouse staff, finance and offshore bookkeepers, and support two month-end cycles

What you bring

- Hands-on Odoo 18 experience across Inventory, Purchase, Manufacturing and Accounting
- Proven migrations from Standard Price to Average Cost and from Manual to Automated valuation in a live business
- Deep working knowledge of Anglo-Saxon accounting in Odoo: interim accounts, price differences and the journals behind every stock movement
- Experience with Australian SMEs in manufacturing or building materials, and an understanding of GST
- The ability to explain accounting impacts clearly to warehouse teams, finance staff and offshore bookkeepers
- A preference for standard configuration over custom development The assignment
- Indicative duration: 1 to 2 weeks across discovery, data preparation, cut-over and handover, plus two months of light post-go-live support
- Engagement basis: fixed price or capped fee by workstream, with day rates for variations
- Reporting to the CFO, who is the single point of contact and approves all configuration decisions and journals
- Start: as soon as possible, with cut-over aligned to a month-end
