Why are inventory values in reports not matching inventory values on the adjustment page?

I'm having trouble with inventory. The inventory numbers on the products and sales page (as well as the inventory reports) do not match current inventory numbers on the Inventory adjustment page. I've checked each inventory item, to make sure there are no post-dated invoices or bills that might affect the numbers, but I can't find anything. Is there something else I should be checking?

Thank you for getting back to me GebelAlainaM.  
Unfortunately, I have contacted the technical support team regarding this issue. (that was before I posted this question) On 3 separate occasions, I have spent 45 mins or more on the phone with someone (screen sharing and everything), only to be disconnected mid-conversation, and no one followed up.  

 

At what point can this issue can be escalated, or someone with inventory expertise can take a look and give me a real answer?

I wanted to show some screenshots to illustrate what I meant.  Here you'll see the inventory amounts from the "adjustments" page, then the inventory amounts from the "products and services page" for the same date

There's approximately a 40-80 qty difference in each item.

Good to see you here, HumbleHouse2008.

 

The Quantity on Hand posted in the Adjustment page would depend on the adjustment date you entered. If you selected a date earlier than the current date or date where most transactions are done, the quantity on hand changes.

 

If you selected the current date, the quantity on hand matches on what's posted on your Product and Services list. You can try changing the dates to see the difference.

Thank you for reaching out Catherine.  

In response, I know about the date issue.  The dates for the inventory adjustment, and the current date (What's on hand in the products & Services page) are the same.  Plus,


I've checked to make sure there are no post-dated invoices that could be skewing the numbers.  There is still a big discrepancy between the "on hand" quantity, and the quantity in the inventory adjustment page.  Do you have any other ideas as to what I can do to fix the issue?

I am coming across this same issue and don't see how or why the numbers from report and QOH are different when I go to do an adjustment. Help??  Was there any resolution to this issue??
