[INV] Negative Quantity for Inventory? Is it Allowed?

Oracle allows it.

Under Inventory responsibility, navigate Setup -> Organizations -> Parameters . Inventory Parameters tab, look for "Allow Negative Balances" field.

You are allowed to ship confirm even you have no stock on hand! Excerpt from Metalink,

In order to pick release and drive inventory negative, the ct must make their items non-reservable. For reservable items, the order gets backordered when not enough quantity is on hand. For non-reservable items, the orders get updated to status of Staged, and the user enters the source subinventory, revision, lot, and locator in the Shipping Transactions form. Ship confirm allows users to drive inventory negative when the Allow Negative Stock checkbox is checked.
