Can not block Negative Inventory

[Former Member]

Dear Expert

Why I can not restrict negative inventory, although I have ticked Block negative inventory in Document Settnigs ?

Is there any other configuration beside that ?

Thank You

Best regards

In 8.8 releas:

When you select the Block Negative Inventory By checkbox, you have the following 3 options for defining negative inventory in SAP Business One:

Company

When you specify Block Negative Inventory By Company, SAP Business One blocks an item only when its cumulative inventory quantity across all warehouses in your company goes below 0.

Warehouse

When you specify Block Negative Inventory By Warehouse, SAP Business One blocks an item if its inventory goes below 0 in any warehouse to which it has been assigned.

Item Setting

When you specify Block Negative Inventory By Item Setting, SAP Business One blocks negative inventory either at company level or for each warehouse, depending on the status of the Manage Inventory by Warehouse checkbox in the item master data.

For earlier releases there was only one checkbox, which blocked the negative inventory in company level. Then you could block the warehouse negative inventory by setting the minimal quantity to zero and choosing the blocking below the minimal quantity.

Thank You Istvan for your explanation

But I use SBO 2007 A

I have ticked block negative inventory in Document settings,

and in the item master data, I do not ticked manage inventory by warehouse

and I do not fill the minimum quantity

Suppose to be with the conditions, I can not create any transactions that make my inventory to be negative right ?

But I don't know why I can still create negative inventory when I create inventory transactions, such as GI, Inventory transfer, etc

Hi Jeiming,

Since you are using before 8.8 version, negative inventory is defined on company level. It allow negative for a particular warehouse as long as other warehouse has enough quantity.

Thanks,
