Reviewing Transactions Affected by Negative Inventory

Transactions can drive these inventory available quantities negative:

  • Business unit/item quantities: the quantity available, quantity on hand, and quantity owned that are stored at the business unit and item level.

    If stock is in work in process (WIP) material storage locations and there are negative quantities, the quantity reserved stored at the business unit and item level can potentially be negative.

  • Item-lot quantities: the quantity available and quantity on hand that are stored at the business unit, item ID, and lot ID level.

  • Storage location quantities: the on-hand and available quantities of the item at the material storage location level (including container ID, staged date, lot ID, serial ID, and unit of measure).

This table lists transactions that update these inventory quantities. The transactions marked Yes in the Allow Negative Qty (allow negative quantity) column can drive inventory balances negative.

Note:

You cannot enter negative quantities for transactions using the negative inventory option. For example, you cannot enter −10 as a quantity for a putaway transaction.
