Why do I have negative inventory showing on my reports?

On certain reports, CATS will show negative inventory or open units or weight. In this wiki page, we will discuss the causes of this negative inventory and how to fix them.

What Causes Negative Inventory?

  1. Overbought/Oversold Items - If you have more units and/or weight on the invoice than is on the contract item, CATS will show negative inventory.
  2. Allocation of Items with Differing Bag Weights - If you have allocated a sale item with more weight than is on the purchase item, then you will see negative inventory in CATS.
