Issue

If a bill of material has a component with a negative quantity an out of balance amount will be posted to the rounding account. A negative quantity should be allowed according to our documentation.
“A negative number can be entered in the Qty Used field to reflect a by-product or scrap material created as a result of making the finished good.”
