Negative Stocks

vom

We are a wholesale products that are bought in and sold straight back out to our customers through a van sales operation. Due to our just in time stock system we are often subject to a time delay so that we sometimes effectively book out stock on to our vans that we do not have as the original receipt has not been posted on to the Navision system.
At the moment this is playing havoc with our sotings as the system seems to treat a negative stock item in some strange way - it does not just say well look at the last known cost and use that until stock arrives.
Does anyone know how to correct this or has anyone else had the same problems and know of a way around ths problem.
Cheers,
Tim

There are 2 solutions that comes into mind.

1. Analyze your current business practice and identify which key area the receipt can be properly posted.
2. Utilize the Drop Shipment function. This will automatically post the receipt when the sales order is shipped.

If you don't know which customer is order the products beforehand, then solution 1 is the way to go.
