Inventory cost adjustment is retrospective

Hi, today 24/2/26 i wrote down the cost of a stock item down to 1 cent for the 30 items, however the adjustment was done retrospectively and caused my stock value to become negative as can be seen in the Item Register:

 

Please advise?

    In MYOB AccountRight, adjusting inventory costs retrospectively can affect your item history and may push stock values negative, as you noticed. To fix this safely, you should have MYOB support review your file. You can contact them via Live Chat using MOCA or submit a support case through your My Account portal.

    Hey AntonellaM,

     

    Nice catch noticing that write‑down on the 30 units has pushed the item’s value into a negative in the Item Register. Because cost and quantity adjustments done retrospectively can have a flow‑on effect through your inventory history, this really needs a closer look in your file. This is something that our team can check in your file and see which causing the negative value and advise on the safest fix. You can reach them on Live Chat via our virtual assistant, MOCA, or by submitting a support case via My Account.

     

    Cheers,

    Doreen
