If you forgot to make entries on that stock, and it is in the recipe of a product that is also for sale.
Attention: The stock is deducted in real time from the Management at the time of sale (all stock movements can be tracked in the History, which we can quickly access from the Stock list)
How do we fix the situation?
We add the invoice / invoices from the supplier with the current negative stock to the Entries.
We reset the stock to the correct quantity through an Inventory. Attention: saving the inventory only records the count (the book quantity, the physical quantity, and the difference between them) — it does not correct the stock automatically. For the stock to be aligned with the counted quantity, you need to open the saved inventory, select the goods, and click “Reset Stock”.
We reset the stock to the correct quantity manually, directly on the stock item, without creating an inventory document.
2. If in the recipe of the product we have for sale we have added the wrong quantity, higher than the actual quantity used.
How do we fix the situation?
We go to the Configuration section and search by the name of the negative stock, to see what recipes it is in, exactly as in the picture:
This will display the products that contain this stock and we can see the quantities used in each recipe, to change them if they are wrong:

Attention: Stock is reduced automatically after a sale, but not instantly — the movement is recorded by an automated process a few minutes after the receipt is issued and receives the date and time of the sale. All stock movements can be tracked in History, which can be accessed quickly from the Stocks list.
