Hi,

As an enhanced functionality in SAP Business One version 8.8, the Pick and Pack Manager now allows the user to release items to a pick list even when there is no available quantity to release, such as when merchandize exists but has not yet been entered into SAP Business One.

In spite of this enhancement the user cannot release an item from a Sales Order to a Pick list when the item does not have sufficient available quantity in stock to cover the quantity of the Sales Order.

The system shows the following error message:

"Released quantity exceeds available quantity"

Solution

This enhanced functionality only works if the "Block Negative Inventory by" checkbox is not selected under Administration -> System Initialisation ->Document Settings -> General tab

Check Note No. : 1485867 as well.

Hello Jitin,

I don't understand. I have in stock enough qty to release and delivery because it is only 100kg out of 520 that I have.

So you are saying basically it is not possible?

Because you have Committed 10,100 already, that make you available qty negative. It efficiently blocks the release process.

Efficiently? I don't think so.

I can't deliver a customer for a quantity of 100 kg that I do have in stock.

I have a sales order for 10,000kg pending but that will be delivered when the product is available.

So I do not understand how this is efficiently?

Hi,

Do you have "Block Negative Inventory by" checkbox is selected under Administration -> System Initialisation ->Document Settings -> General tab or not?

Hello Jitin,

I do have that checkbox ON by warehouse. I got SAP 8.81 Patch 6.

Consultants strongly advised this was requried.

So if I untick this, will it let me?

What would be the other implications of having it off?

Thanks

The word I selected is not proper. I mean it actually.

Hi,

Have you set minimum inventory level for this item?

Thanks,
