"Invalid quantity specified. Negative quantities are not allowed for this Item." (Doc ID 312676.1)

Last updated on APRIL 03, 2024

Applies to:

Oracle Installed Base - Version 11.5.9 to 11.5.9 [Release 11.5]
Information in this document applies to any platform.

Symptoms

Inventory allows WIP backflush transactions to drive negative stock even if negative inventory is not allowed in the inventory organization parameter. This behavior is controlled using inventory profile "INV:Override Neg for Backflush". If the value for this profile is YES' then inventory permits negative stock for WIP backflush transactions.

Install Base does not consider inventory profile "INV:Override Neg for Backflush" during Install Base processing for WIP backflush transactions and raises error when performing quantity validation.
Such Install Base transactions for an item that has a negative quantity on hand in Inventory fail with this error:

The error message "Invalid quantity specified. Negative quantities are not allowed for this Item. Please check the Item Definition. (QUANTITY=-1)"
