    I have been able to resolve the issue by adjusting the inventory for this item but not sure why this has fixed the problem.

    Hi Andyk1,

    We're pleased to hear that you've resolved this issue. Additionally, AccountRight doesn't permit negative inventory quantities or values. If the transaction you were entering brought either of these amounts below zero, you would encounter an error. In this scenario, since it's related to the value of the items rather than the quantity, you would need to raise the value of the items via an inventory adjustment. This adjustment should raise the total value of the item in error to an amount greater than the credit.

    Feel free to start a new post if you have further queries and one of us will be happy to assist you.
    Regards,
    Earl
