# Create a Negative Goods Receipt

If you're sending a complaint or goods back to a supplier, you want it removed from the inventory again. Here's how.

There are a couple of things you need to watch out for when making a negative inventory receipt. Follow this guide to see how you can take items out of your stock again through the inventory receiver.

1.  Go to **Items** -> **Inventory** and create a **New inventory receipt**
    
2.  Search for or scan the item(s) you want to take out of stock and insert
    
3.  Click in the **Quantity** field and put a "-" in front of the number to make it negative. Just note, that's the only way you can make it negative
    
4.  You do **not** need to enter a cost price
