This is possible with old batches of stock. Before taking any further action please try pressing F8 on the part number within Stocked Parts Maintenance. To correct this do the following:

  1. Go to Stock

  2. Click on Stocktake

  3. Press F4

  4. Select 'Confirm By item'

  5. Untick 'Include Raw Material' , and select the part number in the range.

  6. F5 on the new snapshot

  7. Press Ctrl+M and click Add to Item

  8. Enter all the relevant information, ensuring the batch number is the same.

  9. Enter the absolute value in the 'Counted Qty' column. (If the negative is -10 then you will want to type in 10 to reverse it)

  10. Hit Confirm Item


Once you have done this you will have to have a change made to your data as the stock quantity will not match the total of your batch quantities. The reason for this is the figure that you have just corrected will now be added to your stock quantity.
