Item Inquiry shows negative quantity on order

Posted on by Microsoft Employee

I have an item that is showing a negative quantity on order.  It appears that 1,000pcs were ordered, 1,008 were shipped, and 1,008 were invoiced.  The PO is Closed.  How can I make the negative 8 quantity go away?

    It seems to be a bug in the system if more are shipped than were originally ordered. when you close the purchase order it doesn't do the correct housekeeping.

    You can either run the inventory reconcile or manually correct the entry in table iv00102

    Let all Dynamics GP users close any inventory-related windows ... Sales, purchasing, manufacturing or inventory are closed.

    It is not a necessity to let them log out of the system, just close the inventory-related windows.

    I ran the reconcile on Sales and Purchasing.  When I try to run it on Inventory, I get a message that I cannot complete the process while invoices are being posted, but we are not posting any invoices.

    Have you tried running Reconcile on your Inventory records?  That would be my first action.  Inventory>>Routines>>Reconcile.  Run it on just that item number.  Running on every item can take a long time, depending on your transaction volumes.  It's also best to make sure no one is posting inventory-related transactions and that you take a back up of your database prior to running reconcile, although when running on just one item, the backup may not be so critical.

    Initially, have you considered the usual prerequisite including a reconciliation for the purchasing, inventory and sales ?
