Re: inability to enter item quantity

You have to input item quantities by normal Purchase order/purchase receive/purchase invoice chain, or as inventory adjustment.
Customers and Branches entry pages are in Sales module.

Re: inability to enter item quantity

thanks itronics, i did just as you said. but when i made a direct sales delivery, it complains that there is not enough quantity of the item, therefore delivery cannot be done.
also, i noticed that at the left bottom of my window, it sometimes show "done, but with error on page"  what could be responsible for taht?

is there anything i need to do that i have not done?

thanks

Well, I have no idea. 'done,but with error on page'  is not FrontAccounting message.

I have not started on 2.2 yet... but in 2.1 you can just go to: Setup>System and General GL Setup>Inventory>Allow Negative Inventory:, and check the box.

Works for me...

Re: inability to enter item quantity

Strange, I have no problems doing that. Are you looking at the correct location? Service items don't show up, as you know.
If you priced the items, there should be a GL journal created. Did it do that?

Re: inability to enter item quantity

Ah, I guess you misunderstood. The item adjustment should create GL transactions, but only if the values of the adjustment is non-zero.
You can make a report,  List of Journal Entries, in Banking and General Ledger. See if you find the Item Adjustment here for the date done.

Re: inability to enter item quantity

hey

Please tell me how can I delete any item if the inventory is zero although all the transactions are complete. Because whenever I try to delete any item this warning appears: "Cannot delete this item because there are stock movements that refer to this item."

Please guide me and do reply at your earliest.

Thank You

You cant. You can only inactivate items not used anymore.
