Hi @dufani1! Have you tried checking if you have allowed negative stocks in your Stock Setting?

Hi @creamdory allowed negative stocks not checked and I still can sell zero quantity items from POS!!!
Please check in your test account if replicated.

POS - Items from selected warehouse

Hello, ERPNext (latest bleeding edge version v7). I have 2 Items which have “Is Sales Item” ticked and 2 warehouses Main Warehouse Store 1 “Store 1” warehouse is set as warehouse in POS profile, the problem is that POS is displaying all items from all warehouses, even if there is no “Stock Entry” at all. For example: “Product 1” has Stock Entry and stock in “Warehouse” “Product 2” has Stock Entry and sock in “Warehouse” and “Store 1” In POS, I see both products, but I should see only “P…

I have also seen other POS systems which actually allow sales for items with no or negative stock.

The assumption is, if an item reaches the POS, there is obviously quantity in stock, but is not reflected in the system for whatever reason.

I’m not saying this is good or bad, but the point is, this can be a feature or a bug, depending on perspective.

Hi @dufani1 @felix! I have tested on my test account with “Allow Negative Stock” unchecked. This is what happened:

1. Create POS entry for an Item with Zero Stock in a particular warehouse set in my POS profile.
2. POS completed and generated a “Draft” Invoice.
3. Submitted invoice with “Update Stock” checked and it prompted to have insufficient stocks for the Item in the Warehouse.

I think the issue you are raising here is it suppose to not allow the transaction on the POS level rather than on the Invoice level, is this correct? I believe this is designed this way as there are times in which Inventory Balances are not updated yet in the System but it is already in the Shelf physically. But I believe an option to allow and disallow this functionality in the POS level is also essential, thus, a feature request can be raise in GitHub.

By the way, I am running in the following version:

ERPNext: v7.2.3

Frappe Framework: v7.2.30
