Preparing Estimates

I have been working with Quickbooks for several years.  I have tried to figure out why when preparing an estimate our price does not fill in automatically when a part number is entered, it fills in in the "total" column but only for one item.  Also when a quantity is entered it does not do the math and fill in the "total" for a line item.  When converting to an invoice the estimate "Quantity" does not carry over to the invoice.
