Inventory control

Improved prevention of negative inventory

If the Turn off negative inventory checkbox is selected, users cannot backdate a transaction if that would result in a negative inventory amount.

Configure Inventory Control page with Turn off negative inventory checkbox circled.

The Turn off negative inventory checkbox is found on both the Configure Inventory Control and Configure Order Entry pages. If you change the setting on either page, it is changed for both applications.

Example

An inventory item's quantity on hand is zero.

You purchase 100 units of the item on Monday and then purchase another 50 units on Wednesday.

You cannot create a transaction to sell 150 units that's backdated for Tuesday because the result is a quantity of – 50.
