Hello @lubos , In the previous version, when creating a production order, if there was insufficient inventory, it would be displayed in red as incomplete production and we would search for the insufficient inventory in the warehouse. Now, even if there is no such inventory, it will be displayed in g…

The issue with insufficent quantity concept in production orders is that it was not about physical quantities, it was about quantity for accounting purposes. I think more intuitive way is to simply review Inventory Items tab which now has alert if Qty on hand goes negative. This better reflects wha…

[image] lubos: A lot of complains are valid and I’m working through them to resolve but some of the complains I don’t really understand. One of them is why insufficent quantity concept is so important in production orders. Quite a few businesses agree that being alerted when Qty on hand goes neg…

@lubos I think the best way would be if it depends on Qty on hand rather than Qty owned. So if qty on hand is not sufficient then production order shouldn’t be considered complete.
