Can I have negative inventory?

Yes, assuming the item is not lot or serial number tracked and the location is not setup with bins. In the later versions (from 2013 and forward) there is also a field on the item card, Prevent Negative Inventory, that can be set to determine if you want to allow negative inventory or not. Normally you don’t want to allow negative inventory.

    Could you please clarify my question
    “in case that items have lot no. or SN and Setup Allow Prevent negative Inventory = Yes. Then they have return order on 15/01/2023 after that they have created sale transaction on 12/01/2023 with the same lot no. or SN but the system doesn’t show ERROR” For this case ,is this the standard function on BC?

    Thank you.
