    in the sales line and in the register shipping there is a location code preset. when creating the sales order nav checks if there is enough quantity of that item on the selected location and gives you that warning if not. you could change the location, if there are enough items of that kind on a different location. check that on the item card. to increase the number if items you can create and post a purchase order for that item, e.g. 100 of item 1001. be aware that you select the same location code on the purchase order as on your sales quote/order, so you will not get that warning any more. you could also create a production order for the item to fill up the location.

    You can basically modify the quantity in the Quote to any number. The fact that there are not enough items in the stock for the value you entered in the Quote is not a limitation to create a Quote.

    If you want to increase the quantity of the items in stock, you should actually purchase them via posting a purchase order or warehouse receipt, or transfer them from another location.

    NAV usually displays not only error messages, but also warning messages. Warnings are needed to inform the user that there is something he should be aware of and this knowledge might affect his further actions (selection of certain item that is not available in the stock, posting sales for certain client that has overdue receivable, etc.). Having this knowledge, you have an option not to proceed further (in this case press No) and do some other action. While pressing Yes, you will just proceed further as planned.

    That is just a message box and letting you know that item does not have enough quantity to fufill your requirement, you can hide that message by iitem by setting Stockout Waring on the Item Card by setting it to No. Or if it is set to default for all items and control the message by using Stockout Warning on Sales & Receivables Setup.

    It is just showing you the warning message that the sufficient Quantity is not available. You can just press Yes and go ahead.

    If you want to disable such warning message, you can go to "Sales & Receivables Setup" > "Stockout Warning" - You can uncheck this particular setup.
