Hi,
One of my users is having an issue when posting an invoice for a sales order of type return order. The sales return cycle has been properly carried out, with Item Arrival Journal properly created and posted.
The packing slip is also created for the sales order. But when he proceeded to issuing the invoice for the sales order, AX throws up an error:
Negative cost amount for receipts is not allowed
Can you please help me solve this issue?

this error occurring due to the receiving of quantity on negative price, this may be entering charges through adjustments, negative charges amount is greater than the invoice value.
Sanjay,
Please make sure that you are entering both the quantity and sales price +ve on your return order. Since, it is a sales order credit note (return order) that's why inventory transaction is going to be inward i.e. purchased (which is the reverse for sold transaction which has been posted once you have posted the sales order). Because it is a purchased transaction (i.e. receipts instead of issue) that's why cost price needs to be positive. So, please make sure that both the quantity and unit price are +ve on your return sales order.
Hello Dear, Check the Setup Tab in Sales Lines, The Return Cost price will be entered with a -ve Sign, That's why it's giving you the negeative Cost price Error. Just Put the quantity -ve and the +ve Unit Price, then on Return Cost Price also enter the cost price with +ve Sign, this should solve the issue, and the cost will be correct due to the -ve quantity.
Thanks a lot for the feedback Abdel Fatah,
But the cost will be -ve for all the return orders isnt it (going as per your clarification)? In that case it is surprising the application is throwinn up this error.
Does the invoice posting procedure, calculate teh unit price or pickup the unit price from teh invent item details -> price / discount?
yes the cost amount calculated by ( unit price * quantity ) in the return order the quantity is negative
then when the system multiply the ( unit price * quantity ) for example (10 * -5 = -50 ) then the cost amount = -50 this made the error of negative cost amount
I hope that will helping you
Thanks Abdel Fatah, the price and discount tab of the item has the value proper. it is +ve number. Do you have any idea how teh cost of the item is calculated at the item of posting?
maybe the unit price entered of this item is wrong maybe u put it negative or some thing take the itemid and go the item details form from inventory management -->common form -->item details
and in this form search about you item and if you find it go the price/discount tab and check on the unit price and the price and if you find it negative change it and save and try to post again
i hope that will help
