Logic of allowing Negative Quantity on Sales (Purchase) Lines

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by serendipity 1,010

Hi,

Could any one please provide the most logical explanation on why Dynamics NAV allows the user to put a negative quantity on the Sales (Purchase) Line Quantity field?

Expected behaviour: Users should use the Sales (Purchase) Return Order and NOT be allowed to do a negative sales (purchase) line.  I understand that this is customizable BUT I need the logic of the design, please.

Thank you.

    Hi Serendipity,

    This is basically used for creating the replacement Orders.  If you have the Document on Trading in NAV, you can refer the lesson related to Returns Management, which has detailed the process.

    please have a look of below post to know about a purchase order with negative quantity.

    If my understanding is correct, the 'Move Negative Sales Lines' will move those lines to either a Return Order or Credit Memo; hence, why make it harder? Why can the user not just raise a return order or credit memo and not put a negative line on the order (or invoice) ... still does not make sense.

    Hi Mahesh,

    Can you expound on that bit, please?  With your reply, do you mean that Sales Return Order (per se) does not work with RMA?

    Hi,

    If I am not wrong, this is required while using the functionality of RMA.  In order to cater to the RMA, there is another functionality also "Move Negative Lines".
