The Preferences page lets you decide how strict Katana should be when you complete manufacturing orders (MOs). You can keep things flexible and get notified about potential issues, or block the action entirely to keep your inventory data accurate.
You'll find it under Settings > Inventory management > Preferences.
There are three independent settings, and each one can be turned on or off separately:
Prevent total negative stock
If enabled, it won’t be possible to complete an order that will result in negative stock.
Prevent negative traced stock
If enabled, it won’t be possible to complete an order that will result in negative stock that is batch or serial number tracked.
Prevent not assigned traceability
If enabled, you can complete orders without assigning batches or serial numbers (when applicable)
How to change your preferences
Go to Settings.
Under Inventory management, select Preferences.
Turn each setting on or off depending on your processes.
