I think we would have to set up the customer as a customer & supplier.  Also, not sure about the effect on the a/r & a/p accounts.  We would also be left with issuing a sales invoice and purchasing invoice to the customer, as opposed to one invoice.  If negative quantities were allowed, we could issue one invoice and a/r, a/p and inventory would fall into place.  We have the same issue with our supplier.

We are also keeping inventory on our empty cases/bottles.  The cases sold and returns, usually do not match one for one..

In our current system, if an invoice or purchase invoice is issued; as long as the total dollar amount is greater then "0", the system accepts it; otherwise we need to issue a credit (which is not very frequently, therefore practical to our workflow.)

I know this is an old post and has somewhat been addressed before but, i d like to request to allow neg quantities in the sales/purchase invoice. My reasoning for it;

1) We are a dealer of Beer/soft drinks; therefore when we invoice a customer, we are selling them full goods and they are returning empty bottles.  If we are to use Customer Credit Notes, then we would need to issue/enter two invoices/credit slips.  We would then need to take both slips and total them together.  It becomes alot of transactions for one sale.

Would it be possible to add neg quantity to sales invoice/or add a drop down on the item for sale or return?  This would allow for one invoice, one transaction for this type of business.

2) The same also holds true for purchase orders.

Don't know what's involved, and realize most systems works as such..  That's why we are locked into our current system which allows neg qty.

Thank you,
