SageForum for UK versions of Sage 50- Help and support.

Hi,

I was wondering if you know if there will be any changes to the way negative stock is handled in Sage 2015?

At the moment, we have the 'allow negative stock' option selected as we need to be able to allocate stock from goods that are en route to us (there can be a lengthy shipping period for some goods, so we need to know how much is still available if customers enquire on stock availability/lead times). Obviously, this can then lead to processing errors where goods are being invoiced which we don't have in stock.

At the moment, I am running check reports for products with a negative quantity in stock and rectifying any mistakes as and when they are located, so it isn't a huge issue - but it would be preferable (and save me some time!) if there was a way of allowing negative stock allocation without allowing actual negative stock.

I have had a look through the Sage 2015 leaflet/brochure, but they seem to have very little actual information.

Thanks

I should get mine on Monday, I will have a go when I get some time.

I suspect no change though.

Hello Rufus, we are using link50 and we have negative instock.

As you know the release of V2015 has been delayed so I can't answer at this time.

Give me a nudge when it is released and I will have a look for you.
