Hi Jordi

I tend to agree with Eric and use ACL's to control access to the category accounts. We have developed a module that we always install that defines critical fields that can be used by the products belonging to that category, like valuation method, product type, costing method, buy/sell flags etc. We have found this module invaluable for stock integrity.

Dear accounting experts,

We're considering maintaining multiple inventory G/L Accounts, as per common practices in manufacturing industries:

- Raw Materials
- Components (also called Semi Finished Goods or Work In Progress)
- Finished Goods
- Service Parts

While this can be achieved solely by means of using the product classification fields with a single inventory GL account, this classification would not be reflected in the Balance Sheet, where it is needed for external reporting purposes.

The problem I see with using multiple inventory GL accounts in Odoo is that it allows a user with permissions to change a product or product category to completely mess things up if they change the category to a product. 

Odoo should only allow a user to change the category of a product (or the inventory GL account of a product) if the current stock valuation for this product is 0.

What is your opinion?
