Quickbooks Desktop 2021 Inventory part item "Sales Price" change?

Hello everyone!
I am using Quickbooks Desktop 2021 for MAC.
 
I need help with a question:
I am selling some postcards wholesale for $1.25 and I need to change the wholesale "Sales Price" from $1.25 to $1.00 moving forward.
Is it safe to change the "Sales Price" of an inventory part item?  Can changing this affect orders from last year?  What is the best way to do this?
 
I am attaching an example screenshot of this to show you.
Thank you in advance for your time!
Bill

Yes, it’s safe to edit your item without affecting past orders, @billhdz.

 

You can modify your items at any time. Please know that changes will only apply to your current or new transactions. Open your inventory item as shown on the screenshot, then update the sales price.

Thanks @MadelynC ,

 

That makes sense.  I was talking to a bookkeeper that uses Quickbooks and she was telling me to

"Create another separate cost and rename it something else" OR 

to "change the name in the Item List to a different name",

but that just didn't make much sense to me.   This can probably mess everything up or make things more complicated.

Your answer makes more sense to me.

 

Thanks!

@MadelynC 

Thank you!!!

 

I just got a private message from Sarah Johnson ( QB Proadvisor ) saying "You Need to Contact QuickBooks Helpline team asap. at [removed]

Does this mean that there is more to this question than what you explained?

Should I contact the QuickBooks Helpline team asap?

 

Please advice. Thank you

Thank you @Rasa-LilaM 

 

I am not looking to contact a professional. As long as I know that @MadelynC  answer is correct.

it was strange to get a private message like that. I am wondering if the phone number provided is fake? Do you recognize the phone number?

Thanks for getting back to us, billhdz.

 

The screenshot you've provided has been removed for confidentiality purposes. However, we don't provide direct contact numbers to call aside from our Help section. It's possible that the person who sent you a private message is one of our ProAdvisor. But for now, we're unable to determine or recognize a phone number.

 

Furthermore, in case you'll want to know your company's financial standing, learn how to create reports. I've added these articles for your guide:

Thanks Maria, but I think  ProAdvisors should not be SPAMMING people with private messages like this saying that is urgent to contact them. It makes legit good answers from Intuit people here ( like your self and @MadelynC  ) appear doubtful like they don't know what they are saying or explaining.  Also, by the ProAdvisor saying: "You Need to Contact QuickBooks Helpline team asap.", is a form of bait and switch and misleading. If anyone here  needs help from a ProAdvisor for complicated issues, we know to contact them if needed.

 

ProAdvisors need to be told this.

 

Thanks for your help and comments!
