Enabling Negative Inventory Validation
The Enhanced Validations and Defaulting SuiteApp displays inventory warnings for negative inventory. To avoid duplicate alert messages, you should disable the NetSuite preference for inventory level warnings. For more information about disabling this NetSuite feature, see Setting the Inventory Level Warnings Preference.
To enable negative inventory validation:
-
Go to Lists > Enhanced Validations > Enable Validations > New.
-
On the Enable Validations/Default Discount page, select Negative Inventory Validation in the Transaction Validation Type field.
-
In the Transactions with Validation/Default Discount field group, select the transactions where you want the validation to apply.
-
Click Save.
The SuiteApp validates on-hand inventories for the selected locations in line-item level. If there is no selected location in line-item level, the SuiteApp then validates on-hand inventories of selected locations on the transaction.
If there is no location selected on a transaction, the SuiteApp validates on-hand inventories across all locations. This occurs if location is not required on the transaction.
To prevent users from saving a transaction that includes an item with negative inventory, enable the Prevent Negative Inventory preference. For more information, see Setting the Prevent Negative Inventory Preference.
