Here is a step by step guide to follow to zero out your negative inventory.

Warning: It is possible to zero out the negative inventory and get your zingfit inventory management system to properly display the actual physical counts that you have in studio with just one purchase order. We strongly suggest you break up this process. Zero out your negative inventory, then create a new purchase order with your actual stock. This will make help ensure mistakes don't get made.

This guide is going to show you how to clear your negative inventory with only one purchase order. If you order to do that you must know all of the items you have a negative inventory of and their counts. To find this go to Admin > Scheduling/Retail- Current Stock. You'll see a table of all counts of all products in a particular location's inventory. Sort the table by negative inventory:

This is how you're going to decide what needs to go in the purchase order.

Your suppliers denote where you bought your merchandise from. A good way to keep track of your purchase orders that are created just to correct your inventory stock is to create a new Supplier. Name it something you will recognize.

Open up a new tab in your browser and navigate to Admin > Scheduling/Retail > Purchase Orders. Click the "New Purchase Order" button in the upper righthand corner. Set the Supplier of the purchase order.

You're now ready to add all of the items with negative inventory to the purchase order. Have the Current Stock page open, adding one item at a time and the negative inventory count:

Once you've added all items, click "Update" followed by the "Return" button in the upper left-hand corner.

You'll now see that the status of the purchase order is "Open".

You can now hit the "Distribute To Studios" button. You'll see the amount of negative inventory in red for each item. Input the count for each item to be distributed. In this case, it should be the same as the number in red. When all of the counts are inputted, click Save and hit "Close Window"

You'll return to the Purchase Order screen and you'll see that the purchase order is now closed. If you click the edit pencil icon next to the purchase order, you'll see at the bottom of the screen all of the items that were distributed. You'll also see that they were correcting negative inventory and you'll see the date/time of the purchases that created the negative inventory.

If you refresh the Current Stock page, all of the negative inventory will be gone. You can now create a new purchase order to get any physical inventory you have of these items into your zingfit inventory management system.
