Question Re: Why does my license have negative quantity depreciated amounts? in Financial Management Q&A

Why does my license have negative quantity depreciated amounts?

Former Member — Fri, 23 Oct 2015 19:07:07 GMT

I set up a Quantity Control License

Attributes of my Quantity Controlled License are:

Status = Active

Materials = product number and controlled quantity

Quants = includes quantity, qty depreciated, remaining quantity automatically updated by system when shipment documents are posted

I'm finding negative amounts in the qty depreciated columns.

Why is that happening and how do I fix?

Sincerely, Mikki

Hi Mikki,

GTS doesn't transfer Shipments, so what do you mean?

Is the symptom appearing randomly, or (more likely ) corresponding to some pattern - for example, certain document types?

Regards,

Dave

Hi Dave, thanks for assisting me. I suspect that problem might be occurring when a user adds the product to the license, then deletes it, and adds back the same product to the license.

After the product is added back to the license the Quantity Depreciated quantities will be negative
