Jumping in to answer your question about inventory, Meezy.

Recording the purchase of an inventory item automatically increases its Quantity on Hand.

To avoid increasing the quantity on hand, enter the purchase information in the Category details section of the bill. Then, create an inventory adjustment whenever the items are received. 

Please see these articles for more details about managing inventories in QBO:

I'd be glad to get back here if you have other questions.
