Hi,
i have two tables, one is stock in and other is stock out table. stock balance from query, but stock balance shows minus figure and stock out accept the transaction.

Stock in/stock out/Stock Balance
120/100/20
0/40/-20

What I have tried:

SELECT tblRecvB.MCode, tblRecvB.GroupName, tblRecvB.MatName, tblRecvB.UOM, Sum(tblRecvB.Qty) AS Quantity, tblRecvB.Price
FROM tblRecvB
GROUP BY tblRecvB.MCode, tblRecvB.GroupName, tblRecvB.MatName, tblRecvB.UOM, tblRecvB.Price
UNION SELECT tblIssueB.MCode, tblIssueB.GroupName, tblIssueB.MaterialName, tblIssueB.UOM,Sum(-[Qty]) AS Quantity,  tblIssueB.Price
FROM tblIssueB
GROUP BY tblIssueB.MCode, tblIssueB.GroupName, tblIssueB.MaterialName, tblIssueB.UOM, tblIssueB.Price;

Nobody can tell you how to "correct" your stock balances, since the data you've shown is already correct given the description provided. If you have 20 in stock, and you remove 40, then your balance is correctly -20.

You either need to fix your code so that you can't take out more stock than is available, or explain precisely what "correction" you want to apply.

Thank you Richard Deeming, I need to fix my code not to take out more stock than is available. So, pls let me help provide me the code with example.

That's correct: you started with 120 items, you sold 100 leaving 20. You then removed another 40 items, which meant that you had a negative stock level.

This happens in real life: a large order cannot be filled immediately, but the order gets processed and the remaining balance will be shipped on arrival. The negative stoick level means that that number of items from the next incoming delivery are already allocated (so you many need to change the order on your supplier prior to dispatch).

Remember, the names you give columns in a DB mean nothing to the database: "Stock in", "Stock out", and "Stock balance" do not automatically cause SQL to take any particular actions - if you want to prevent a negative stock level that is up to your code to monitor and reject the order - but that's Business Rules and hence BL code not DL code.
