• Key Concepts: 
  Negative stock indicator is a feature in SAP that allows users to track and manage inventory levels. It is used to indicate when the stock level of an item has gone below zero, meaning that the item has been sold or used more than what is available in the inventory. This feature helps users to keep track of their inventory and prevent over-ordering or over-selling of items. 
  
  How to use it: 
  In order to use the negative stock indicator, users must first enable it in the system settings. This can be done by going to the SRD-SCM-MD SCM-Master Data component and selecting the “Enable Negative Stock Indicator” option. Once enabled, users can then set a threshold for when the indicator should be triggered. This threshold can be set for each item individually or for all items in the inventory. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting up the negative stock indicator, it is important to consider the lead time for ordering new items. If the lead time is too long, then it may be beneficial to set a higher threshold so that the indicator is triggered earlier and users have more time to order new items. Additionally, it is important to keep an eye on the indicator and take action as soon as it is triggered in order to prevent any further losses due to over-ordering or over-selling of items.
