If the cart asks for more than the stock shows, a red notice says how many are left ("None left in stock" or "Only N left") and how many you asked for. You can sell anyway and fix the count afterwards.

## Steps

1. Read the notice: it names the item and the quantities.
2. If you are the owner or a manager, press "Sell anyway". This sale goes through; the next one asks again.
3. If this keeps happening, the owner can press "Always allow selling more than I have" in the same notice. Or open "Settings", then "Inventory", and turn on "Allow selling below zero stock".
4. To stop being asked, enter the real quantity: press the tip "Tip: enter how many you have so this stops asking", or use [adjusting one item's quantity](/help/adjust-stock).
5. If the item should not be in the sale, press "Remove item".

## If it doesn't work

- A cashier sees "Ask the owner or a manager to allow this sale." and only an "OK" button. Ask them to press "Sell anyway", or to turn on the setting.
- "Couldn't change the setting": use "Sell anyway" for now and try the setting again later.

## What happens in the books

A sale below zero is booked and the stock goes negative. When you receive the goods the cost is corrected.

## Common questions

**Why does the till refuse an item that is on my shelf?**

Because Dashing thinks you have none, usually since the opening quantity was never entered or a delivery was not received. Sell anyway for now, then fix the count.

**Does selling below zero break my accounts?**

No. The sale goes through and the cost is corrected when the goods are received.
