# I have no negative stock in my Inventory Valuation Summary report, but I’m still getting an error stating that some items had negative stock before the lock date and that I need to review and update the stock. How do I fix this?

If you have multiple branches or locations in your organization, you must ensure that none of them have negative stock. Even if a single branch or location has negative stock, an error will appear and prevent you from locking transactions.

To check whether any branch or location has negative stock:

*   Go to **Reports** on the left sidebar.
*   Navigate to **Inventory** under _Report Category_.
*   Select the **Inventory Valuation Summary** report.
*   Click the **Customize** icon at the top of the page.
*   In the _Customize Report_ page:
    *   Click the _As of_ dropdown and select **Custom**, then select the date as one day before the Lock Date.
    *   Click the _Stock Availability_ dropdown and select **Less than Zero**.
    *   Click **Add Filters** under _Advanced Filters_ and select **Branch** or **Location** in the first dropdown, **is in** in the second dropdown and choose the specific branch or location you want to filter in the third dropdown.
    *   Click **Run Report**.

**Warning:** If you don’t filter the report by individual branches or locations, the report will show a summary of the stock across all branches or locations. This summary may appear positive, even if some individual branches or locations actually have negative stock.

Similarly, you can filter the report for each of the other branches or locations in your organization and check whether they have negative stock.
