Businesses have different inventory management preferences. Some allow sales even when stock goes below zero (negative stock), while others block sales when items are out of stock. SalesPlay POS provides flexibility to manage this setting according to your business needs.
What is Negative Stock?
- Allow Negative Stock: Sales continue even if inventory goes below zero. Useful for backorders or businesses that want to sell items before restocking.
- Block Negative Stock: Sales are prevented when the stock reaches zero. Ensures accurate inventory tracking and avoids overselling.
Steps to Allow or Block Negative Stock
- Login to the POS Back Office Web Portal.
- Select Settings from the main menu.

- Go to Software Setup.
- To block negative stock, tick the Block negative stock option.
- Click Update to save your settings.
Once Block negative stock is enabled, items cannot be sold if their stock falls below zero.
