When it happens (Reason)

You appear to have entered a negative value. A negative amount has been declared for writing off a licence. The quantity being written off for a licence must be equal to or greater than zero.

Quick Fix

Locate the field(s) reported (amount, quantity, or licence write-off).

Step-by-step resolution

1. Locate the field(s) reported (amount, quantity, or licence write-off).

2. Check the entered value(s) for negative signs or parentheses indicating negatives.

3. Replace negative values with the correct positive value (zero or greater as required).

4. If the negative was required for business logic, confirm whether a different DE should be used instead.

5. Validate numeric formats (no embedded commas, correct decimal places).

6. Re-validate the declaration and resubmit.
