Random negative quantities

Welcome to the Community, Heather. 

I understand the importance of knowing why negative amounts appear on your purchase orders or item receipts. I can see the importance of fixing this issue, and I'm here to shed some light on how we can resolve this. 

Before anything else, it would be helpful if you could send us a screenshot of the error message. This will allow us to provide you with the appropriate resolution.

Since you've already used the rebuild troubleshooting step to fix the issue, I recommend using the QuickBooks Desktop Tool Hub. This software is designed to address common concerns that arise in QuickBooks Desktop. Utilizing this tool can be an effective way to resolve any errors that you may encounter. You can follow these steps on how to download and install this.

1. Close your QBDT.
2. Download the latest version of QuickBooks Tool Hub. Save it on your computer where you can easily find it.
3. Open the file you've downloaded. 
4. Follow the on-screen steps to install this. Agree to the terms and conditions.
5. Once done, double-click the icon on your desktop to open it. If you can't find the icon, you can search in Windows for QuickBooks Tool Hub and select the program.

After installation, you can select the appropriate tab to fix your issue. Each tab contains a tool that can help with different types of problems. Here are some examples:

• Company File Issues
• Network Issues
• Program Problems
• Installation Issues
• Password Reset
• Help & Support
• Advanced Tools

Tool Hub did not fix the issue.  We ended up having to rebuild the data, which is the 4th time we have done it in the last two weeks.  Obviously NOT a fix, but our only option at this point until QB fixes these issues.

Run the Verify/Rebuild Data utility more than once. If you always encounter the same error message, the Rebuild Data utility cannot fix the problem completely. Consider seeking a second opinion from a third-party service provider.
