By default, Odoo allows negative stock. The advantage of negative stock
is that, if some stock levels are wrong in the ERP, you will not be
blocked when validating the picking for a customer... so you will still
be able to ship the products on time (it's an example !). The problem is
that, after you forced the stock level to negative, you are supposed to
fix the stock level later via an inventory ; but this action is often
forgotten by users, so you end up with negative stock levels in your ERP
and it can stay like this forever (or at least until the next full
inventory).

If you disallow negative stock in Odoo with this module, you will be
blocked when trying to validate a stock operation that will set the
stock level of a product and/or location as negative. So you will have
to fix the wrong stock level of that product without delay, in order to
validate the stock operation in Odoo...you can't forget it anymore !

Configuration
=============

By default, the stockable products will not be allowed to have a
negative stock. If you want to make some exceptions for some products,
product categories or locations, you can activate the option *Allow
Negative Stock*:

For products:

1. Go to *Inventory / Master Data / Products* and in the tab *General
   Information* activate this option.

For product categories:

1. Go to *Inventory / Configuration / Products / Product Categories* and
   activate this option.

For individual locations:

1. Go to *Inventory / Configuration / Settings* and activate the option
   *Storage Locations*.
2. Go to *Inventory / Configuration / Warehouse Management / Locations*
   and activate the option the option *Allow Negative Stock* for the
   locations you choose.

Usage
=====

When you validate a stock operation (a stock move, a picking, a
manufacturing order, etc.) that will set the stock level of a stockable
product as negative, you will be blocked by an error message. The
consumable products can still have a negative stock level.
