"Angelyn_T" (Quick Books Team) emailed me and pointed me to some generic instructions on how to do an inventory adjustment.
It appears to me that when I do a test run on one of my inventory items, I get two line items that land in my inventory, just like I'd expect. One is positive and one is negative and they simply cancel each other out.
Clearly, I'm likely doing something dumb, some mechanical thing needs to be added or whatever. During the last six months I've found almost all QB functions VERY user-friendly and intuitive. This one is a mystery.
Thanks. Tim.

Good to have you back, tim-taylor0210.
It seems to me that you could have used a different account associated with your inventory item. This is why in your Inventory Valuation report it only basis the cost and your quantity on hand. While the Balance Sheet report will base on what affected account used.
We can go back to your inventory item and verify what affected accounts used. You may need to create a journal entry to correct them.
I'd also suggest consulting your accountant so they can help you with the proper recording. This is to avoid messing up your books.
Keep me posted if you need more help,
