It’s not possible to build an item out of components if the result is that the components go into negative inventory. If you’re getting this error message, please check the following:

Check your quantity on hand

1. Go to the component’s product record
2. Check the Quantity on Hand. If you don’t have enough to create your item as specified on the manufacture order (formally called work order), you’ll need to add more/ order more.

Check location quantity

Check that there is enough stock of your components in the same location used on the manufacture order.

Check the purchase order and manufacture order dates

As inFlow Cloud pays very close attention to the quantities on the dates you’ve set, you’ll need to be careful — if you’ve set it so that your components were received on September 10th, for example, but the manufacture order has a “Finished Date” of September 9th, this would be a problem because the quantity on hand for September 9th would not have been enough to finish the manufacture order.

To fix this, simply change the Finished Date on the manufacture order (top right) to today or a future date.
