Select this check box to instruct the system to allow on-hand balances to become a negative number. You will receive a warning message when a negative number is calculated by the system. Clear this check box to instruct the system to prohibit on-hand balances from becoming a negative number.

This box must be selected if the backflushing feature
is being used.
