Thank you Sean.
The item in question has a "Quantity On Hand" of 0. Value is "N/A" and Average cost is "N/A"
If I try and convert a Purchase Order containing this item from "Order" to "Bill", I get the error "Processing this purchase would leave the item FCEASY120 with a positive on handh quantity and a negative value in inventory".
If I try to do an inventory adjustment to change the value of this item, I get the error "The value of your inventory may not be less than zero" and I cannot proceed further.
If I run an inventory Value Reconciliation (suggested in a previous post from someone else) I find that for some reason, this item with 0 quantity has a negative inventory value.
I don't know why it has a negative inventory value and I cannot make any changes to this item without MYOB throwing up some sort of error as described above.
I look forward to your further suggestions.
Hi sKrael
Due to bugs in MYOB sometimes you end up with zero on hand, however a negative or positive value for that zero on hand. This is why some amounts show as N/A, as you cannot divide a value by zero.
This does indicate a form of corruption in the file and sometimes MYOB staff offer to run a script to fix it. Not your moderator though.
Try doing an inventory adjustment to change the on hand count to 1 (or higher) and the value a larger number than the negative on hand value. So for example if the negative value is -$50, set the IAJ to On Hand 1 and Value adjust by say $52. This will set the onhand count to 1 and the value to $2. Once you get to this point you can make correcting adjustments as required.

You're a legend, that sorted it thank you gavin12345
I did a +1 inventory adjustment for just over the negative value (by 23c), then a -1 adjustment to correct the quantity and value of -23c to get rid of the N/A and the inventory item is now back to zero.
Will I need to tell my accountant, or are there any other adjustments I should make so ensure the accounts are in order relative to these adjustments?
