     Dear Expert,

Is it possible to allow negative inventory for batch enabled item in sales transaction. I am using SAP b1 8.82 patch 4.

Thanks.

Hi Sridharan,

What is the actual process in your business? Something must be wrong if you allow negative inventory with batch enabled sales action.

Dear Mr.Gordon Du,

Our customer has retail outlet across india they selling goods (FMCG ) with batch. We are integrating from POS to SAP. In this case, first we have facing inventory problem when sync data to SAP. So that we have changed confinguration like using non inventory into sales then posting issue against sales(in the back end -goods issue from BOM . The BOM configured for non inventory items) to capture cogs for related sales. After this setting sales sync happing succefully but cogs(cost of goods sold) not done because of  stock is not there. 

if any possible solution guide me.

Hi Srinidhi,

Allow negative inventory for batch enabled item only is not possible. This is global setting which will apply for all items.

Hi R Sridharan,

Administration --> System Initialization  --> Document Settings --> General

When you deselect the Block Negative Inventory By check box, you allow negative inventory in your company. Each item can contain negative inventory at company or warehouse level. Only the option selected according to the document setting Response to Release/Receipt of Inventory Outside Defined Range applies to the defined minimum stock level for the item...

Hi Sridharan,

I Think this Is not possible does the item is related to batch then you required to select the batch Number... No other way

HI Sridharan........

Logically it is not possible to Batch Managed Items go into Negative Inventory.

If there is no stock then how its batch will come into picture. For Non Batches system can get the logic but for Batch Items its tough for system so it is not possible.........
