Re: Order type (7)

Your inability to process an order line with a negative price is "by
design."  Since a credit is based on a quantity of an item being
credited/returned/destroyed in the field/etc., this is the element (the
quantity) that should be entered as negative - not the price.  This keeps
inventory issues and sales units correct as well (not just the financial
impact).

Just as a side:  Novartis is a long time BPCS client - you will find it
useful to locate the individuals in your organization with BPCS knowledge
and run questions by them first - there are sure to be instances where
Novartis does things a little differently than "Vanilla BPCS".  Not in this
area probably, but there will likely be some areas where use is
"non-standard."  I'm not being critical - just trying to help in your
learning curve.
