Inventory - Showing negative stock

Question

Hi,&nbsp;When I try to lock the latest accounting period in MYOB I receive a warning message telling me that I have some negative stock and that there may be a problem down the line.&nbsp;&nbsp;Given that we don't record negative stock, I did a quick review and noticed that an end of year adjustment seems to have had a glitch and is recording a minus quantity that is over 16 decimal places long (or&nbsp;-0.00000000000000038857805861880500 to be exact).&nbsp;This doesnt show up on any report - only via the inventory items list - and hasn't occurred before. Please see attachment for screenshot.&nbsp;How can I fix this to ensure that the value is zero and perhaps more importantly to stop this from happening again. To be honest we have encountered numerous inventory/foreign currency glitches over the past few months that we cannot explain that I feel I could spend all day on this forum with one thing or another.A simple answer to this would be good for starters.&nbsp;Thanks&nbsp;MicroHeat&nbsp;

Many thanks for your prompt help.&nbsp;It has halved fixed the problem in that the negative number has disappeared, but I am still getting the attached error message when I try to lock the month within the security tab.Any idea why this message should be showing up and can you fix it?&nbsp;CheersMH
