In Inventory how can I set up an item to record trade ins. What I have tried so far keeps telling me negative amounts are not allowed. Can we create an item which accepts negatives or any other suggestions??

Sammy:

Yes you can setup items to use for trade ins. Check IC Company Profile and make sure you have the option to allow quantities below zero selected.

Thanks

Okay I've tried that and can't get it to work. The profile is set to allow quantity below zero however it still says must be between o and 9,999,999. What am I missing?

There may be unwanted side effects in allowing inventory to go negative. You might also check the option in the company profile of OrderEntry (System Options) and see whether the option "Credits on Invoices" is enabled. Turning this on allows you to enter a negative sale.

Andrew: Any other ideas of what is stopping me. The Order Entry is ticked to allow credits and the inventory is ticked to allow negative stock. I can't make the order accept either a negative item or a negative amount. Is there a way to make the category negative or ??? I've tried what I could think of.

When you enter an OE transaction and want to include a negative qty, you cannot do this to the Qty Ordered - it never can be below zero. You enter the negative qty for the Qty Shipped field.

Thank you soooo much. That was so simple yet I have wasted all morning on it. Thanks for your help.
