Question:
After specify the allow negative stock in IMG with Tcode OMJ1, then create the material master in storagelocation lever, the negative stock field in material master cannot be set automatically. Notice that the material master in storage location creation is after the negative stock customizing. Why? I remeber if create the material master storage level before the negative stock customizing. We have to set the indicatior for negative stock in material master. But if the create the material master storage level after the customizing the indicator should be set automatically. it's that right?

Answer:
Hi Liang,
To the best of my knowledge, the negative stock balances can only result if they are allowed at the following levels:
1) Valuation Area level.
2) Storage Location level.
3) Material Level (plant data in the material master record).
As you are fully aware that the first two levels are defined via Transaction OMJ1. As the result, I do not think that there was such as automatic default in the material master.
Cheers,
