Hi Kobie,
Your client has an inventory accuracy problem, not a BPCS configuration
challenge. A negative balance merits an immediate physical count of the item
and it wouldn't be a bad idea to also count items closely related to the
problem code via BOM structure(s). If it were even possible to turn off
transactions, you'd introduce a wide variety of potential collateral damage
to customer service and factory productivity. Better to just get out on the
floor and do a shop-wide + all applicable warehouse count. Get the
quantities right and then re-run MRP.
Your client isn't the first one to have a negative inventory quantity. We've
found that employee training on inventory accuracy is the Rx for prospective
improvement. Here is a discussion about inventory accuracy training topics,
including the connection with reliability theory:

Subject: [BPCS-L] BPCS V4.5CD / ERP Lx - Minimum Inventory Levels.
We have a Clients running from BPCS V4.5CD up to ERP Lx (BPCS V8.3.04) and
the Client running 4.5CD asked if there are any setting to stop inventory
transactions if the Stock On-hand goes into a Negative.
I have looked in Inventory Management / System Parameters / Facility and
Warehouse Management, but could not found any settings, any ideas?
Kind Regards,
