Inventory Build - May not be less than zero

[Clark_Jodi]

Hi, When autobuiling an invnetory item we recieve the message, "The value of your invnetory may not be less than zero, however as per the attached, we have plenty of stock to build this item.  Please note that we allocate a zero dollar value to the goods due to being consignment stock.  Can you please help with regards to this error.

Thanks

Hi @Clark_Jodi

Thanks for your post. I hope you will find it to be a great resource and place of information.

We do have a script in which can run over company files that are showing unusually long decimal place or N/A inventory values or a negative inventory message when changing the preferences. Just before we do arrange for that we need for you to check the following:

Please note that if you do have any receive item transactions these would need to be converted into Bills before this process.

• Go to Inventory>>Item List>>Inventoried tab, click to sort by On Hand (select the column heading). Ensure that no items are showing as having a negative on hand value.
• Run the Inventory Value Reconciliation and check to ensure that there's no invalid amounts. Invalid amounts being a negative or an item that has 0 on hand but a value in Inventory

If those options are fine and you don't have any negative values we can arrange for the script to be run: For us to do this we need to confirm the following details:

Where the company file is stored i.e. online or local
What the LAST FOUR DIGITS of the serial number is - Setup>>Company Information
What is the company file ID - Help>>About AccountRight

Please let me know if you need further help.

Cheers,
Leneth

Hi Leneth, thank you for your response.  We not long had Myob run the script over our file due to errors with inventory stock numbers.  We have ran the reconciliation report as suggested and we have a few items with zero quantity however have a negative value.  The values are nominal and due to cost being divided by .5 so is rounding into the negative.  An example is an item cost 3.89 per kilo and we use .5 of a kilo, cost calculated is 1.945.

These are the only type of errors we can see.  I am happy to forward you our report via pm if you would like.

Thanks

Jodi
