Cannot delete a bill - advising stock will be zero.

Hello,

I am trying to delete a Purchase Order / Bill as I incorrectly entered it as stock.  It should have been a Cr Note (ie negative amount as a service)

 

I keep receiving the following message:

"Processing this purchase would leave the item 'braces' with no items on hand and a non-zero value in inventory."

 

I don't want items left on hand so why is it not allowing me to delete it?

Thanks,

Appreciate any assistance please.

    Thanks for your post.

     

    The error message is pointing at the total value of this item, as the current value in the item card is at $0, deleting the purchase would change the value to a negative figure, which is not allowed.

     

    I'd suggest looking into why the item value is at $0 when there is a purchase recorded for this item and the item price isn't $0. Record an inventory adjustment to increase the total item value by the same amount as the purchase value, it would allow you to delete the purchase order and return both the quantity and value to zero.

     

     

    Please don't hesitate to post again if you need help in the future.
