For the community benefit - here is the complete Manufacturing Accounting Workflow for Odoo 19:

Prerequisites (Critical Configuration):
1. Go to Inventory > Configuration > Product Categories
2. Set Inventory Valuation to "Automated" (called "Perpetual" in some v19 builds)
3. Configure: Stock Input Account, Stock Output Account, Stock Valuation Account
4. Go to Inventory > Configuration > Locations > Production location > set Production Account (WIP)

Full Accounting Flow:

1. Purchase Raw Materials
Receipt: DR Stock Valuation | CR Stock Interim (GR/IR)
Bill: DR Stock Interim | CR Accounts Payable

2. Raw Materials Consumed in Manufacturing
DR WIP/Production Account | CR Raw Material Stock Valuation
(This entry is created automatically when components are consumed in the MO)

3. Finished Goods Completed (MO Mark as Done)
DR Finished Goods Stock Valuation | CR WIP/Production Account
(This is the "return to inventory" entry - it IS created automatically when you click "Mark as Done")

4. Sell the Product
DR Cost of Goods Sold | CR Finished Goods Stock Valuation

If entries are not appearing, check:
- Product category on the raw material AND finished goods must both be set to Automated valuation
- All stock accounts must be configured on the product category
- The costing method must be AVCO or FIFO (Standard Price also works)
- In Odoo 19, check Inventory > Reporting > Inventory Valuation to confirm stock layers are created

Hi,

In Odoo 19, accounting entries in manufacturing depend on Automated Inventory Valuation.

Ensure product categories are configured with correct accounts (Stock Valuation, Input, Output, and Production/WIP).

When raw materials are consumed in an MO, their value moves from stock to WIP automatically.

On MO completion (Mark as Done), Odoo transfers total production cost to finished goods inventory.

There is no separate journal entry for “return to inventory”; it is part of the MO completion valuation.

All entries are generated via stock valuation layers, so check those if journal entries are not visible.

Hope it helps.
