How to Enable Negative Stock in Packing Slips?
In this tutorial, we will learn how to use the "Allow Negative Stock" option in Logic ERP to permit quantity allocation beyond the available stock during Packing Slip entry.
Objective of This Feature
Allow quantity allocation beyond available stock
Enable negative stock transactions
Provide flexibility during Packing Slip processing
Prevent stock-related transaction restrictions
Handle situations where physical stock exceeds the system's recorded balance
Observe the Default Behavior
Initiate a New Packing Slip entry.
Select the required customer.
Retrieve the required Sales Order.
Navigate to the Item Details section.
Try to scan or allocate a quantity greater than the available stock.
Result
The software restricts the transaction and displays the message:
"No stock found"
This means the system does not allow you to allocate more quantity than the available stock.
Access to the Packing Slip Configuration
Open the Packing Slip Configuration window.
Navigate to the Other Options 2 section.
Locate and enable the option labeled as:
"Allow Negative Stock"
Save the configuration changes.
Create a New Packing Slip
Initiate a New Packing Slip entry.
Select the required customer.
Retrieve the required Sales Order.
Navigate to the Item Details section.
Example
Suppose the available stock for the selected item is:
Stock in Hand: 1 Unit
Now, try to allocate:
Required Quantity: 5 Units
The software now allows you to allocate 5 units, even though only 1 unit is available in stock.
The resulting stock balance is:
1 − 5 = -4 Units
As observed, the Stock in Hand column displays -4 units, indicating that negative stock has been allowed.
Key Benefits
Flexible Stock Allocation: Allows transactions even when available stock is insufficient.
Supports Business Operations: Useful when physical stock is available but not yet updated in the system.
Prevents Transaction Delays: Avoids unnecessary restrictions during Packing Slip processing.
Real-Time Visibility: Clearly displays the resulting negative stock balance.
Important Note
Enabling "Allow Negative Stock" permits stock balances to go below zero. Use this option according to your organization's inventory control requirements.
Final Outcome
After enabling "Allow Negative Stock", Logic ERP allows users to allocate quantities exceeding the available stock during Packing Slip entry. The resulting negative balance is reflected in the Stock in Hand column.
