Features

• Custody flag on stock locations — two new fields, Custody Location and Custody Type (Inbound / Outbound), are added to the standard location form under the Additional Information group.
• Off-balance-sheet posting for inbound custody — moves into an inbound custody location post Dr custody / Cr counterpart (e.g. 8033 / 8039), dispatches post the reverse, and internal transfers between two inbound custody locations post nothing.
• Company-level account configuration — the pair of accounts is set once on the company through l10n_ro_property_stock_picking_custody_account_id and l10n_ro_property_stock_picking_custody_counterpart_account_id.
• Outbound (call-off) stock keeps the standard balance-sheet valuation flow — Romanian practice uses account 357 (Goods at third parties).
• 12-month call-off deadline tracking — a daily cron (Romania - Call-off Custody Expiry Check) scans outbound transfers between 11 and 12 months old and schedules a Call-off Custody Expiry mail activity on the picking with the 12-month deadline.
• Storable, real-time products only — the off-balance-sheet entry is generated only when the product is storable with real-time valuation; consumable / standard-costed products fall back to Odoo's default behavior.
• Safe fallback — if either custody account is missing on the company, the module steps back to standard Odoo behavior, which requires a valuation account on the location.

Configuration

Two steps are required: configure the off-balance-sheet account pair on the company, then flag the locations used for custody.

1. Set the custody accounts on the company

1. Go to Settings → Users & Companies → Companies and open the Romanian company.
2. On the company form, fill in:
   • Romania - Picking Account Custody (l10n_ro_property_stock_picking_custody_account_id) — typically 8033 - Stocks held in custody.
   • Romania - Picking Account Custody Counterpart (l10n_ro_property_stock_picking_custody_counterpart_account_id) — typically 8039 - Counterpart for class-80 accounts.
3. Save. If either field is left empty, the module silently falls back to standard Odoo behavior (which requires a valuation_account_id on the location).

The demo data shipped with the module configures 8033 / 8039 from the Romanian chart template automatically.

2. Create the custody locations

1. Go to Inventory → Configuration → Warehouse Management → Storage Locations.
2. Click New (or open an existing internal location).
3. In the Additional Information section, expand the Romania - Custody group:
   • Tick Custody Location.
   • Pick a Custody Type:
     • Inbound (supplier's goods at our site) — for goods we hold on behalf of a foreign supplier.
     • Outbound (our goods at customer's site) — for our goods physically at a customer's site (call-off stock).
4. Save. The location now behaves as a custody location for all transfers that touch it.

3. Outbound (call-off) deadline cron

The daily cron Romania - Call-off Custody Expiry Check (l10n_ro_stock_custody.cron_custody_expiry_check) is enabled by default and runs once a day. It can be paused or rescheduled from Settings → Technical → Scheduled Actions. The activity it schedules is Call-off Custody Expiry, defined in the Activity Types registry.

4. Access rights

No dedicated security groups are added. Standard inventory and accounting permissions apply: setting the custody accounts on the company requires Settings: Administrator, and tagging locations requires Inventory: Manager.

How it works

Once the custody accounts and locations are configured, stock operations work exactly like standard Odoo transfers. The accounting side adapts automatically based on where the move starts and ends.

Inbound custody (8033 / 8039)

• Receipt to an inbound custody location — posts Dr custody (8033) / Cr counterpart (8039) for the move's computed value. When the standard stock_account flow leaves the value at zero (no upstream invoice / sale order), the module falls back to standard_price × quantity so the off-balance-sheet entry still reflects an amount.
• Delivery from an inbound custody location — posts the reverse: Dr counterpart (8039) / Cr custody (8033).
• Transfer between two inbound custody locations — no account entry is created; the net off-balance-sheet position is unchanged.

Only storable products with real-time valuation produce these entries; consumable or manual-cost products are ignored, matching standard Odoo behavior.

The accounting entries are visible on the related stock move's Account Move link, the same way standard inventory valuation entries are.

Outbound (call-off) stock

Outbound custody locations keep Odoo's normal balance-sheet flow through the location's valuation account (in Romania account 357). What the module adds is a deadline reminder:

• The daily cron looks for outbound custody transfers whose date_done is between 11 and 12 months ago.
• For each such picking it schedules a Call-off Custody Expiry activity on the picking, dated 12 months after date_done and assigned to the picking's responsible user.
• The activity carries a note explaining that the sale to the customer must be triggered or the goods returned to Romania before the deadline, otherwise the call-off simplification falls and an intra-community acquisition has to be declared in the destination Member State.

The cron is idempotent — pickings that already carry the activity are skipped on subsequent runs.
