Invoice a Sale with no stock

[Former Member]

Should it be possible to Invoice a SALE when their are no Items in stock?

Hi Nate,

we strongly advise not to enable negative stock in SAP Business One. Should you require to send a sales invoice for items you do not have in stock, please use a reserve invoice. Once the goods are then received by your company, they may be send to the customer. The delivery note should then be based on the reserve invoice.

All the best,

Scarp sales is possible as a non inventory item.

Hi Nate,

There is a setting under Administration>System Initialisation>Document settings for "Block Negative Stock" If this is ticked, you will not be able to deliver or invoice if there is not enough stock in the system

This is already checked and yet when a sales order is generated, a not in stock item is added to the order and shows up on the Pick Ticket in the warehouse.

Hi Nate,

This won't stop an order being placed by a customer, but will stop your team from delivering or invoicing the item, except by using a Reserve invoice (no physical delivery)

Hi Nate,

What is your actual scenario require this invoice? Anything is possible with a good reason. Complete your SALE is more important than other.

If your inventory on hand is not reflecting your actual, then do a count. If you need invoice first before shipping, you can have a reserved invoice. and so on....

Thanks

Nate,

You might not be able to create an Invoice directly selecting an Item or copying it from a Sales Order unless the items have been already Delivered.. You can copy a Delivery to an Invoice as the Goods have already got releaved through the Delivery
