Error Not Enough Items on Hand to Record Transaction

I am trying to process a write-off (inventory adjustment) for an Inventory Item that has a quantity of 2 with a total value of $7.14. I am getting an Error message saying "You do not have enough of item on hand to record this transaction". It is Consignment Stock with us as the Consignor so in a separate Inventory Code to normal inventory.

 

I have tried Inventory Adjustment to expense code, Inventory adjustment to another inventory code, processing invoice to sell the 2 items. Nothing has worked.

 

See attached screenshot of balance in Item Register, copy of Inventory Adjustment and Error message received. 

 

How do I fix this error to clear this stock?

      Hi Leneth,

       

      Thanks for your email. It didn't help me though. You can clearly see from my attachments that the system shows there are 2 items of inventory in MYOB. What would be your next fix for this issue?

        Hi BNS , go to the Inventory, Item List, edit the item and see what values are displayed for Qty and on hand value. If they are different, try using those values for the adjustment.
