Sale of inventory – Not enough inventory on hand

If your sales accounts are linked to your inventory accounts, you have to make sure that you have enough inventory on hand to post the sales for those specific commodities. If a sale causes an inventory account to go negative, an error will appear, forcing you to go to the inventory adjustment screen to add inventory on hand.

You can go directly to the inventory adjustment screen by clicking Open Inventory Adjustment. You can then proceed with the appropriate adjustment to get your inventory back into proper position. Once completed, you can close the inventory adjustment screen and attempt to record the sale again. If done correctly, the sale should post without any issues and without having to re-enter any information.
