How to Restrict Negative Stock in Godown Wise- Stock Transfer?

In this tutorial, we will explain how to restrict stock from becoming negative in the Godown-wise Stock Transfer Voucher in Logic ERP.


When Negative Stock Restriction Is Disabled

  • First, let us review the default configuration.

  • Open the Godown-wise Stock Transfer module.

  • Define the Godown From and Godown To.

  • Initiate a new stock transfer entry.

  • As shown, the available stock for the selected item lot is 9 units.

  • Enter a transfer quantity of 10 units, which exceeds the available stock.

  • Since the Check for Negative Stock option is disabled, the system allows you to save the entry despite insufficient stock.

Impact of This Setting

  • Open the Sales Bill window.

  • You will observe that the item stock has gone into negative quantity.

This may lead to inventory inaccuracies and reporting issues.


Enable Restriction for Negative Stock

To prevent this, enable the negative stock validation.

  • Return to the Godown-wise Stock Transfer module.

  • Open Configuration.

  • Navigate to Other Settings.

  • Enable the option Check for Negative Stock.

  • Save the configuration.


Behavior After Enabling the Restriction

  • Initiate a new Stock Transfer Transaction.

  • Select the item and lot.

  • As shown, the available stock for this lot is 99 units.

  • Try to enter a quantity greater than the available stock.

  • The system immediately displays an Insufficient Stock message and prevents the entry from being saved.


Result

  • Stock transfer entries cannot be saved if sufficient stock is not available

  • Prevents inventory from going into negative

  • Ensures accurate stock reporting across godowns

  • Improves inventory control and data integrity


Summary

  • Negative stock can occur if validation is disabled

  • Enabling Check for Negative Stock ensures strict stock control

  • System automatically restricts excess quantity entry

  • Recommended for accurate and reliable inventory management
