Negative Inventory Levels

Negative inventory levels can result from some inventory transactions. Only nonserialized products can have negative inventory levels. Inventory levels can acquire negative values in the following circumstances:

• When the logical inventory does not match the physical inventory (when the product is on the shelf, but the Siebel database does not show that the product is available).

• When reconciling transactions to or from an External Location. The External Location must have negative quantities so that it can receive inventory from an external source.
