Hello,

Kindly verify the "Remaining Qty" in Item Ledger Entry no. 18 with Negative Consumption Qty.

Cause:
This error occurs because the system is trying to post a negative adjustment (reduce inventory), but the available quantity in Item Ledger Entry No. 18 is insufficient.
Solution:
Go to Item Ledger Entries for the item and check Entry No. 18. Either:

Select a different entry with enough remaining quantity by adjusting the Applies-to Entry field in the Item Journal line.
OR

Split the quantity across multiple lines to match available quantities in open entries.

Make sure the total negative adjustment does not exceed the available inventory.

You're trying to do a negative adjustment for a quantity higher than you have in inventory.

It says you are trying to reduce your quantity below zero. Make sure that you have enough quantity to do negative adjustment.

You're trying to post a negative adjustment (remove inventory), but the system cannot find enough remaining quantity in the Item Ledger Entry (ILE) with Entry No. = 18
