If you have negative stock in your account, you'll find a helpful notification on the Stock screen.

If you see this notification, you'll see a Show option that displays a list of negative stock items.

If you see the Negative stock found notification at the top of the Stock screen, you can click Show to view a list of the negative stock.

Negative stock view

The negative view will give you a rundown of all of the negative stock found and the date when they turned negative. If you have multiple locations, you'll see negative stock from all of them.

If you click one of the dates, you'll see a list of causes for that item having negative stock.

Note: Negative stock can affect moving average cost (MAC), even if corrected using a stock adjustment.
