"Open" Item Ledger Entries

SmokeScreen

We posted some Negative Adjustments (the whse. mgr. did) and now when Sales is reserving inventory they can reserve against ILE's that should have been closed with the negative adjustment. I have found that the negative adjustment ILE is "Open". So my quantity on hand is correct at 0 however I have 8 ILEs and 1 negative adj for 8. How do I apply the neg. adjustment against the remaining inventory to clear this out and allow for proper reservations?

There is a "Applies-to Entry" field in the item journal line where you can select a positive item ledger entry which remaining quantity you want to reduce. When the remaining quantity is 0 the item ledger entry is closed.

Okay. But I have an "open" transfer (positive ledger entry) and a negative adjust "open" both for qty. 10 and -10 resp. full WMS warehouse... reservations are looking at the received transfer and ignoring the negative adjust. So I have 0 actual units, but open ledger entries.

I suppose my question is how do I close these entries to each other?

I don't know if this is exactly the correct answer but I guess you COULD...

make two more entries in the Item Journal for 10 & -10 and this time apply these to the open entries.

Yes it's two more entries but it will all balance to zero in the end.
And you can put a little note in the description about why you needed to do this.
