26 July 2025 Hey! This happens because in your sales invoice, the stock is being recorded as both inward and outward for the same item, which cancels out the stock movement and makes the closing stock zero.

### Why is this happening?

* Usually, a **sales invoice** should only record **outward stock movement** (stock going out).
* If Tally shows **both inward and outward** for the same item in the same voucher, it means the item is being entered incorrectly—maybe twice or with wrong movement type.

### How to fix this issue:

1. **Use the correct voucher type:**

* Use **Sales Voucher** or **Sales Invoice** for recording sales.
* Do **not** use Stock Journal or other voucher types for sales.

2. **Check the stock item entries in the voucher:**

* While entering the item, make sure the quantity is entered as an **outward** movement only.
* Make sure the item is not entered twice — once inward and once outward.

3. **Look for duplicate entries:**

* Sometimes you may have accidentally entered the same item twice, once as inward and once as outward.
* Delete any duplicate or incorrect entry.

4. **Check Stock Movement Settings:**

* Go to **F12: Configure** in the voucher screen.
* Make sure **"Use inventory allocations"** is set properly.
* Make sure you are not entering a "stock transfer" or "receipt" in the sales voucher.

### Steps to verify:

* Open your sales invoice voucher.
* Highlight the stock item line.
* Check the quantity and stock movement. It should show **negative quantity (outward)**.
* If any line shows **positive quantity (inward)** for the same item, delete it.
* Save the voucher and check your stock summary.
