Added alerts for negative balances which should never be negative

1

In the latest version (24.12.1), I’m adding 3 new alerts which I consider essential to maintain good bookkeeping records.

Under Inventory Items, if Qty on hand is negative for any inventory item, you will see the following panel.

Clicking it will reveal inventory items with negative Qty on hand.

Negative Qty on hand is always a bookkeeping error because Qty on hand tracks physical quantities and thus if the balance is negative, something is missing.

Similarly, under Sales Invoices and Purchase Invoices tab, if any invoice has Balance due less than zero, you will see:

This indicates one or more of your invoices are overpaid. Again, this would be always a bookkeeping error.

Regarding the invoices, it is doubtful whether there is indeed always an accounting error, but the fact remains that it is a damned useful tool to have a quick overview of overpaid invoices.
Thanks!

@lubos It’s a really nice feature to have. Why not make it user-customizable?
which will allow users to set conditions, and when those conditions are met, an alert pops up? This could be useful in numerous ways as we would be able to set multiple conditions for multiple scenarios even for a specific item or account.
