Qty in Stock v Running Total

Suggested

HI

I'm having a problem still with stock valuation.  For example, here is a product that I have zero stock for, but if I send the activity to Excel, and perform a running total, the running total shows I have -43.5 items in stock, rather than zero.

On other examples I have tried, I have stock of 10 items, but the running total is showing I have -9.

Does Sage use something other than the activity to work out stock levels?

    Have you at some time cleared stock transactions?

    I can't  see any Brought Forward quantity which may be skewing your quantities

    "Have you at some time cleared stock transactions?"

    The simple answer is, I wouldn't know.  Where would Brought Forward quantity be stored?  I'm assuming Sage is storing datums in some other table to allow it to "start from here" when it's compiling it's stock figure.

    Thanks

    I was wrong, sorry - there is no Brought Forward figure for products; I just double checked my own products.

    However I know that if stock transactions have been cleared the Retrospective Stock Valuation doesn't work correctly so there maybe something intrinsic in the way Sage works out stock from day zero.  Hopefully someone from Sage will shed more light on this situation.

    Did you extract all the transactions for that product shown or only from a certain date ?
