    The Quantity Sold Value in IV10200 should match the value of the Quantity Sold in IV10201, since the value in (IV10200| Purchase Receipt Work) is a summation of the detail in (IV10201 | Purchase Receipt Details)

    Part of the Inventory Reconciliation is to match the quantity in IV10200, and collect the details in IV10201 to ensure that they match. In case they don't match, A "RECON" document is created automatically through the reconciliation process in IV10201.

    Let me give an illustrative example for that;

    To ensure that, you could run the inventory reconciliation , you could make use of the scrip below on my blog for detailed quality check on the inventory purchase receipt layers:

    Purchase Receipt Work and Details

    Hope this helps,

    So which Quantity should we consider the one in IV00102 table or the IV10200 table?

    The precise answer to this question is simply (Sales Returns). Although, let me add further explanation on this issue;

    1884.Untitled.jpg

    The "Quantity Sold" field shown above, is different that the "quantity sold" in the Purchase Receipt layer and Details (IV10200 and IV10201).

    • The screen above retrieves data primarily from Item Quantity Master (IV00102), quantity in base unit of measurement.
    • Item Quantity Master (IV00102) is updated after every transaction (IV, SOP and IVC). As well, inventory reconciliation re-calculates all the quantity fields in this table.

    Calculation Criteria: 

    Now the question remains, how ( IV00102 ) calculates and records these quantity fields. In our case, I will be illustrating mainly on both fields;

    1. IV00102..Quantity of Hand =   IV10200..Quantity Received - IV10200..Quantity Sold (excluding returns documents)
    2. IV00102..Quantity Sold  = SOP30300..QuantitySold - SOP30300..QuantityReturned
    Helping Note:
    It's obvious that IV00102 will be negative when the SOP30300..QuantityReturned is bigger than the SOP30300..QuantitySold

    Finally, let me list down all the transactions performed on the item (123123123) which is shown in the screen shot above, and show how the (Quantity Sold) is calculated, and why it is Negative

    • IV00102 Quantity On Hand = IV10200..Quantity Received (100) - IV10200..Quantity Sold (22) = 78
    • IV00102 Quantity Sold = SOP30300..Quantity Sold (12) - SOP30300..Quantity Returned (20) = -8
    See the table view below for further illustration;

    Please never hesitate to share any further inquiries.

    Hope this helps,

    It could be if you had more returns for this item when sales.

    I did the reconcile for the sku that is showing negative and does not do anything, seems weird I have lot of items that have this problem. When I run the Smartlist also it shoes negative in there.

    Let me know if any other things in there.

    It could be that the system has got itself a bit mixed up. If you view the item transactions in the Item Transactions Enquiry window or via smartlist, does that provide you with any extra information to explain the position?

    If you run an Inventory Reconcile (via Tools > Utilities > Inventory > Reconcile) for just that one item, does it correct the position after reviewing and recalculating the supporting transactions?

Under review
