Negativ inventory

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Ludwig Reinhard Microsoft Employee
Hi, I would like to know whether there is a way to avoid negative inventory at all? In my case, I posted the item arrival from the vendor and because of that I am able to ship the goods to a customer (packing slip posting in the sales order form). The result of both transactions is a negative physical inventory value in my inventory value report. I would like to know whether a parameter setting is available that could prevent negative physical inventory. Hope somebody has an idea. Thank you, Ludwig

    Hi Ludwig,

    Yes, there is a parameter setting for this. You can turn off the negative physical inventory in the item model group defined on your product. For more details refer to below link:

    Hello Rachit Garg,

    Thank you for your feedback.

    Actually, I activated this parameter and was still able to packing slip update the goods in my sales order after posting the item arrival journal for the receipt of the goods from my vendor.

    In other words, I had 100 items with the status "purchase order - registered" and 10 items with the status "sales order - deducted" but I would like to prevent that the goods can be shipped at all until I actually posted the packing slip for the receipt from my vendor.

    Do you have any additional hint what went wrong?

    Hi Ludwig,

    In my view this is not a scenario of negative inventory because in standard Microsoft Dynamics AX, the inventory is available as soon as the goods are purchase order lines are registered, so that they can be consumed by the sales orders demand. You can verify by checking the inventory transactions and also the on hand of the item after registering the purchase order line. So I do not see this as a wrong behaviour.

    You might need to rethink on your problem considering these details.

    Hope this helps.

    Thanks,

    Rachit Garg

    Hello Rachit Garg,

    Yes, I know that registered lines can be shipped. The issue is that some of our customers respectively their auditors made a complaint that the inventory value report shows a negative inventory in this case. Well, I guess that it is just a matter of training and explaining how this issue arose. Thank you very much for your feedback. Have a great day. Cheers,

    Ludwig
