15.6.2 Allow Negative Quantities on Mobile Devices
This option pertains to batch devices only. Negative quantities are not allowed on wireless devices.
This option allows you to remove or move items from inventory on the mobile device even though the
quantity of those items may have been at zero, according to the database, the last time the mobile device
was synchronized. This option is valuable in a batch processing environment.
If you have more than one mobile device, a situation might arise where some inventory is Added on one
mobile device for a location. The next mobile device comes along and sees the inventory ready for
Remove, but since both devices have not been synchronized to the PC, the second device does not show
that inventory exists. In this case, if Allow Negative Quantities on Mobile Devices is turned off, mobile
devices would have to synchronize before the item could be removed.
Leaving this option turned on allows mobile device users to do their job in the field but opens up the
possibility of error. The responsibility for confirmation of batch processing on multiple mobile devices falls
to the PC user. Many safeguards and methods of verifying the recurring data have been added to help
facilitate this effort. See the
Pending Uploads topic for more information.
To enable this option, select the Yes checkbox.
