"Is Negative" in comments after Stock returned

Post by 600720544 » 02 Jun 2017, 11:34

Still new to Sage, so may be an error on my part.

When a stock item is returned, I am creating a credit note with the customer name and the stock code so when it is posted the stock is back in the inventory. I then pay the customer from the bank and all seems to work and balance ok. However, when I "check data" there are two entries in the Comments for each return. Under the heading "Is negative" the list shows first the Stock code then "period quantity is negative" and then "period value is negative".

is this something I am doing wrong with the return? should I be worried? How do I correct this errors if I need to.
Any help much appreciated.

The comment is a letting you know that the amount of stock in the period is negative, this is because the stock was returned.

It is alerting you to this, because generally this is not normal. Based on the context it is fine.

I have seen hundreds of thousands of comments on some data sets, you need to be aware and understand them in context, in 99% of cases comments are pretty trivial and can be ignored. In many cases Warnings can be ignored.

Errors on the other hand should NEVER be ignored.
