Build Item - with zero stock onhand

Question

Hi There,&nbsp;Our business uses different unit measurement when purchase raw materials and build a finished good.&nbsp;Therefore, I will need a interim Stock Item, which can be used as a 'clearing account' for building a finished good. It means this stockitem will go negative when build item.&nbsp;At the end of each month, we will do stock take, and adjust between this general Stock Item to individual stock items, and inventory qty and value of thie interim stock item will become to NIL.&nbsp;&nbsp;Is this doable? I noticed it won't allow me to build item if the stock qty is zero.&nbsp;&nbsp;Please advise.&nbsp;&nbsp;Kind regards,

Hi&nbsp;Cookielia&nbsp;&nbsp;It is doable so long as you don't try to create a negative quantity on the interim item - i.e. MYOB AR did not bring forward from&nbsp; Permier/Enterprise V19 the ability to go into negative quantities - a big pain in the backend - but unfortunately it is a bigger problem when using the API - crashing a POST if there isn't enought in stock.&nbsp;However, for your solution to work just create and interim inventory item that starts from a positive amount each month eg. 1000 or 10000 and then your solution should work I believe.&nbsp;The Doc
