How to Resolve Insufficient, Negative, Batch, or Serial Stock Errors in Muhasib ERP
Overview
This guide will help you correct a stock-availability or identity problem without inventing quantity or bypassing record history.
If this issue is stopping your work, do not worry. Follow the steps one at a time, and check the result before trying again.
The source stock position becomes accurate enough for the intended transaction or the shortage remains a valid control.
Who can do this
You need access to Source transaction and stock inquiry access; master/adjustment changes require separate authority.
Before you start
Record item, unit, requested quantity, location, batch, serial, date, available/on-hand result, pending movements, and message.
Where to find it
Open Stock Report, Detailed Stock, Item Batch, and Stock Ledger for the item.
