Hi,

I wonder how I can cancel or override an erroneous inventory.  
If the (confirmed) inventory dated 2018-12-31 for location MYLocation has errors, how can I either:  
— cancel this inventory and fill in a new one  
— fill in a new one at the same date that would be authoritative ? (how does tryton handle two contradictory inventories for the same location, at the same date?)

It will just adjust the quantities to be the one encoded.

Ok, seems the last inventory to be saved is the authoritative one. This means that, later, I have no mean to distinguish between the two inventories archived to know the one which was effective…

You do not need to know. But any way, the numbering should give the order.

They were both effective at some point and any will be right later.
