[SYS21] Negative Inventories in Manufacturing

Thanks for all the responses, it seems as though our assumptions were
correct. Manufacturing of backflush materials just does not do the
validation of inventory levels. (As stated earlier, not a good situation.)

  To answer Ray's questions...
1) where did you get them from?  Very good question. Our production floor
sometimes may not communicate with other areas. Material that was put on
hold and physically released but not released in the system, cycle count
off, ect. can cause the available quantity to be less than booking
quantity.

2) Is this a case of parts moved to Floor Stock or to the production line
without the transaction being posted to the system?  No we use Nutech to
front this transaction and they must have the pick ticket before the
product moves to the production area.

Thanks again to everyone. Maybe this is one for the next GEAC survey?
