The Expected Yield Deviation specifies whether a yield variance is to be expected when the finished product is delivered to stock, as the result of confirmations that have already been entered. An expected yield deficit is displayed as a negative value, an expected yield increment is displayed as a positive value. In this case, a yield deficit occurs during the final confirmation of operations, as a yield quantity is confirmed that is smaller than the planned order quantity.

This is a standard behavior of the system. The negative value in the open quantity field indicates an expected yield deficit since there might be a possibility that initially during confirmation +ve quantity were taken into consideration and later it was changed  due to which it is showing a difference in open quantity
