Created on  | Last modified on 

Cause

  • Sage 50, purchase order, is not designed to handle a negative quantity ordered.

Resolution

  1. Please use the Purchase invoice instead.
  2. When you receive the actual amount details from the vendor, then adjust the purchase invoice accordingly.
    • This includes adjusting the date if necessary.
