Delivery Note Negative Stock Error

Delivery Note Negative Stock Error

Question: Seeing a warning stating the item's stock is insufficient when submitting a Delivery Note is confusing because we have the item's stock on hand in the Warehouse.

Answer: When a Delivery Note is submitted, the stock level is examined as of the Delivery Note's posting date and time. You might have stock of a particular item in your warehouse. Nevertheless, if you are producing a back-dated delivery note and the item wasn't in the warehouse on the posting date and time of the delivery note, you'll probably get an error notice about the negative stock. To verify this, you can see the Stock Ledger report.

If so, you should change the delivery note's posting date and time to make sure that it comes after the item's receipt entry date and time.
