When you save an outbound requisition<\/strong> (or a sales invoice or any transaction that takes a quantity out of the warehouse), the system checks the product\u2019s balance in the warehouse on the transaction date<\/strong>, and that the transactions after it won\u2019t become negative. So the system may refuse to save even though the quantity appears in the warehouse now. These are the causes of the message and the solution for each:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Cause<\/th>\nMessage Shown<\/th>\nSolution<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n
The current balance in the selected warehouse is less than the required quantity.<\/td>\nThe quantity isn\u2019t available for… The available quantity is …<\/strong><\/td>\nReduce the quantity, choose the warehouse that has the balance, or add the quantity first.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
The quantity was added to the warehouse after<\/strong> the requisition date, so it wasn\u2019t available on that date.<\/td>\nThe transaction can\u2019t be completed. The quantity isn\u2019t enough for the item: … on the specified date<\/strong><\/td>\nChange the requisition date to a date after the quantity was added, or record the addition with a date earlier than the requisition.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
The quantity is available on the requisition date, but there is a later outbound or sale transaction<\/strong> whose balance will become negative if the requisition is saved.<\/td>\nThe transaction can\u2019t be completed. This will lead to a negative balance for the item: … in a later transaction (example: …)<\/strong><\/td>\nOpen the transaction mentioned in the message and review it, change the requisition date, or add a quantity with an earlier date.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
