Display a stockout warning
When someone enters a quantity for an item on a sales document that exceeds the item's current inventory level at the location, you might want to let them know by displaying a notification. The notification is just to inform them of the potential problem, and doesn't prevent them from creating the order.
To show a warning about low inventory on a sales document
- Select Search (Alt+Q)
in the upper-right corner, enter Sales & Receivables Setup, and then choose the related link. - Depending on whether you want to show the warning, turn on or turn off the Stockout Warning toggle.
