Find the cause
Negative Stock Rescue focuses on recovering from stock balances that went below zero and preventing the same cause from repeating. In AWRA, that work affects item setup, stock movement quality, reporting trust, and the decisions managers make from inventory data.
The important habit is to treat inventory records as operational evidence. Names, quantities, costs, statuses, attachments, labels, and timelines all shape what users can safely sell, move, count, or report.
In practice, a branch sold items before receiving a delayed transfer, creating negative stock that must be corrected by reviewing transaction timing. The flow below shows the record sequence a team should understand before changing item data or acting on a stock signal.
