prevent negative inventory by bin

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

To prevent negative inventory by bin in NetSuite, you can follow these steps: 1. Regularly check your inventory levels: You can use the 'Saved Search: Current Inventory on Hand and Bin On Hand' feature in NetSuite to keep track of your inventory levels. This will help you identify any discrepancies between the total inventory and the bin inventory. 2. Correct any discrepancies: If you find any discrepancies, you can use the 'Inventory Adjustment' feature in NetSuite to correct them. For example, if you have an item that shows 51 quantity available but it shows 151 in bin location, you can adjust the bin quantity to match the actual quantity. 3. Use bins consistently: If you have turned on the 'USE BINS' feature for some items but not all, this could cause discrepancies between your inventory subledger and your total inventory GL balances. To prevent this, you should either use bins for all items or none at all. 4. Use bin putaway worksheets: If you have turned on the 'USE BINS' feature, you should also use bin putaway worksheets 100% of the time. This will ensure that all items are correctly allocated to bins, preventing any discrepancies. 5. Use SQL queries: If you have a large number of items in your system, you can use SQL queries to get a full picture of your inventory. Here is a sample query that you can use:

sql
SELECT InventoryNumberInventoryBalance.item
    ,BUILTIN.DF(InventoryNumberInventoryBalance.item) AS itemName
    ,InventoryNumberInventoryBalance.binNumber
    ,BUILTIN.DF(InventoryNumberInventoryBalance.inventoryNumber) AS Lot_number
    ,InventoryNumberInventoryBalance.quantityOnHand
    ,InventoryNumberInventoryBalance.quantityPicked
    ,InventoryNumberInventoryBalance.quantityAvailable
    ,InventoryNumberInventoryBalance.inventoryStatus
    ,InventoryNumberInventoryBalance.committedQtyPerLocation
    ,InventoryNumberInventoryBalance.committedQtyPerSerialLotNumber
    ,InventoryNumberInventoryBalance.committedQtyPerSerialLotNumberLocation
    ,InventoryNumberInventoryBalance.location
FROM InventoryNumberInventoryBalance
