In older accounts, Negative inventory can be manually enabled under Settings > Optional Modules.

Understanding negative inventory

Negative inventory allows your stock quantities to dip into the negative when items are oversold or oversent on transfers and vendor returns.

You can also view the Negative inventory report to see the items that currently have a negative quantity on hand (QOH) and the associated negative inventory adjustments. You can periodically run the report and analyze the data to:

• Identify reasons why your items have negative inventory
• Correct the negative quantity on hand of your items
• Maintain the most accurate inventory possible

Enabling negative inventory

To enable negative inventory (if Negative inventory is an optional module in your account):
