Inventory adjustment posted to wrong GL

[SimoneAlbiston]

 

When doing an inventory adjsutment to move stock between locations, an error occured telling the value of the inventory for G00636 could not be less than zero.  Somehow it recorded but put the inventory adjustment to Cost of Goods. How do I fix this ? No matter what I try it tells me the value of my inventory may not be less than zero.

Hi @SimoneAlbiston 

The error itself simply means the transactions you are trying to record will reduce the item value by a figure higher than its current value (item card > profile > current value), as item values cannot be negative the error will prevent the transaction from being recorded. Looking at the first screenshot, the first line shows item G00636 location ENK had a 1451 quantity taken out but no Amount (item value) was reduced, this would be why the transaction was able to be recorded. 

If you are merely moving stock between locations without value gain/loss, I'd suggest recording a Move Items transaction instead, please find the instructions in this Help article: Move items between locations. Are you able to delete the inventory adjustment now and record it as Move Items?
