[WebERP-developers] Is negative quantity reasonable in GoodsReceived?

[ExsonQu <hex...@gm...>]

*Dear all:*

            Thank you for your great contribution to webERP.

            During study the script of GoodsReceived.php, I found that it
allows a negative quantity to input in Goods Receiving. Does this make
sense? webERP deduce inventory while issuing an invoice, it makes the
inventory control quite tight and warehouse person usually can only add the
inventory quantity, even the stock adjustment has set up an email trigger to
superiors that inventory has been adjusted. 

           So my question here is why a negative quantity is allowed here? 

           Any comments are highly appreciated!

           Best regards!

           Exson

Hi Exson,

IMHO, I think it should not be allowed negative values. Inventory
adjustments should be made elsewhere and by someone else different to the
manager of the inventory. In this way, we eliminate a chance that the
manager of the warehouse alters the inventory (control reason).

Best regards, Rafael Chacon.

*Hi, Rafael Chacon*

          Thank you for your reply. And thanks for Tim's reply. 

         I found there is some scenarios for the negative input:

              1. Sometime users have to receive those goods temporarily. For
instance it's near day off, they have to time to count the actual quantity.
So just receive it an pending warehouse (location in weberp). Then they have
time to count it tomorrow. And find the quantity is less than expected, so
they use the negative quantity to correct it. The the goods was transferred
from pending warehouse to raw material house.

              2. For quality control reason, since we have no quality
control feature now, those goods will be received into pending warehouse.
The can return some rejected goods by this feature.

         But if we want to use this feature, we must need some improvement
for it:

             1. We should have a choice for users that the PO should not be
marked completed otherwise, we cannot retrieve the PO back.
             2. We should add a control to prevent a new lot/batch/serial no
from keying again for controlled items.
             3. We have add a authority control for this feature. For
instance, assigned it to a token for special role or mail the negative
receive to warehouse manager just like stock adjustments.

             Maybe something I've overlooked? Any comments are highly
appreciated!

             Thanks and best regards!
