QB Issue Resolution:
to fix this
journal entry
debit opening balance equity for the amount in the journal entry
credit inventory asset for the same amount
as it stands now
you debited inventory asset with journal entry
you create items with cost and qty, that debited inventory asset and credited OBE
so if you take the value out of inventory asset using a credit, and post it to OBE, that cancels the amounts and the balance sheet will be correct
going forward, think of inventory asset as a summing account, and think of each item as a sub account where cost and qty are kept. You can Never use inventory asset in a journal entry, an adjustment or a purchase – if you do you change the balance sheet amount but do NOT affect item cost. That means the balance sheet value for inventory asset will not equal the inventory valuation summary report, and it must.
Journal entries should be the exception when using QB, they often do not work as you think they should, and when you use inventory type items they never work for inventory. It is much better to use the forms on the home page the way QB is designed to be used. Journal entries also bypass accrual/cash reporting, and will not show on many reports.
