Inventory Available but cannot invoice

rquad3

We purchased 1 x 20 litre drum of oil which we sell in 1L quantities as they are used in jobs. Item was purchased as 1 item with 20 saleable units. Inventory states we have 20 in stock. I allocate 6 units to one job but cannot save it and get and error message stating i need to order 106 on backorder in order to save the invoice. Item has 20 selling units and 20 buying units wtih 20 in inventory. Why is this happening?

Hi @rquad3 , for these requirements I would set "Number of items per buying unit" at 20, and purchase 1 unit (drum), which gets converted to 20L of inventory. It looks like you have done that.

Then I would set the "Number of items per selling unit" at 1, so that 1 (litre) sold should reduce stock by one litre. I think you have set it as 20, so selling 6 represents 120 inventory units.

Be careful with values other than 1 in these fields; the values cannot be changed if you already have transactions recorded.
