RE: When manually adjusting the cost to correct amount the default QB adjustment is to the price. 

So, instead, adjust the total Amount, and QB will change the price/cost so that the equation balances.

I want to change the qty NOT price which is what QB defaults to changing!!!!!

No no no 

On the ITEM tab of the check register- the other tab is Expenses

Want to have the QTY change not the price which is what QB defaults to.  If I manually enter the total amount AND the price it leaves the QTY blank and makes both the price and Total amount the exact same number- therefore you can not do this equation in reverse  solving for the QTY.

If I manually adjust the amount I want the adjustment to be QTY not  price.

Hi there, @LadyFarmer.

Let me join the conversation.

In addition to BigRedConsulting's response, currently, we're unable to adjust the quantity by changing the amount.

Also, if the cost or price isn't set up to calculate for each item, it will cause both of it to have the same value.

The cost and price of the item vary on the inventory set up. To change it, you can go to the List menu and choose the Item List. You can double-click the item to update the setting.

I'll add this article as your reference to learn more about updating item lists in QuickBooks: Add, edit, and delete items. It covers how to create multiple inventory items and answers to frequently asked questions.
