Caw we let inventory go negative during Work Order Component Issue

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

Based on the conversations, it is not recommended to let inventory go negative during Work Order Component Issue. This is because it can cause accounting issues and may lead to inconsistencies in the Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) account. When inventory goes negative, it can cause the transaction not to hit the COGS account. Later, when another transaction adds back to the inventory, the COGS account gets updated, but it doesn't relate back to the original order or customer. This means that while your overall COGS account will correct itself, individual transactions won't show the correct COGS. Furthermore, allowing negative inventory can lead to operational issues. For instance, component items on a Work Order might be marked as backordered even when sufficient quantities are available at the specified location. This could be due to the available inventory being committed to another work order or being in an unusable location. Therefore, it's crucial to ensure that you have sufficient inventory before fulfilling a Work Order to avoid these issues. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
