Hi there, @FMW.
I appreciate you for getting back to us here in the Community. Let me share some information about
If you use an inventory item, it will show the -1 amount in the sales report because it's a credit. Since the option to remove the qty is unavailable and using the non-inventory setup won't work, I recommend exporting data to Excel.
When creating a credit memo (CM), you'll need to select the same items you want to credit. As of now, there's no item type you can create to avoid the negative figure and still make a CM.
To export, please follow these steps:
- Open the sales report.
- Filter the date range.
- Make the necessary changes.
- Press the Excel drop-down.
- Select Create New Worksheet.
Additionally, I recommend visiting the following article to learn how to get the latest version of the report while you're in Excel: Export reports as Excel workbooks in QuickBooks Desktop.

Helping you record a credit memo is my top priority, @FMW.
You can create a non-inventory part item for your discount. This way, it won't affect your quantity and will allow you to record a positive amount. Let me walk you through the steps. You can also use the other charge type and service type.
- Go to Lists, then select Item List.
- Scroll down and tick the Item drop-down. Tap New,
- Under the Type drop-down, choose either Non-inventory part, Service, or Other Charge.
- Enter your preferred Item Name, then choose an account where you keep track your discount.
- Hit OK.
After creating the item, go back to Customers at the top then Create Credit Memos/Refunds. This time, choose the non-inventory item you've created to record the discount or credit.
When you're ready, you can now apply the credit to your invoice. Just tap the Apply Credits at the top.

Keep me posted if you still have questions or concerns with customer credits. I'll be around for you. Take care and have lovely day ahead.
Thank you for reply. However, I don't have an issue with recording a credit memo; the issue is that I do not want the credit memo to have a "QTY" associated with it in my reports (Discount items do not appear with QTY in reports).
As indicated in my original post, the credit memo quantity skews the actual qty of the product that was purchasd by the customer. I don't want the quantity of the original invoice changed once I apply the credit memo to the invoice. The only thing that should change is the balance due.
