I have an invoice that was for the item shown. There is only one line on the invoice for the hydrocloric why is it divided up so many times?

Thanks for joining us here in the Community, Jupchurch.

 

I want to make sure you're able to view the correct Transaction Journal report in your QuickBooks Online Accountant account.

 

As an initial troubleshooting step, I recommend clearing the browser cache. The cache is in place to collect frequently used data to make loading web pages quicker and easier. If the cache becomes too full it can potentially cause certain viewing and performance errors within the system. Clearing it will remove anything that's preventing the report from loading properly. Here's how to get this done in Chrome for example:

 

1. At the top right, click More (three vertical dots).
2. Click More tools and then Clear browsing data.
3. At the top, choose a time range. To delete everything, select All time.
4. Check the boxes next to "Cookies and other site data" and "Cached images and files."
5. Click Clear data.

Any chance that when you sold the inventory item on this invoice, you oversold it creating negative inventory?  When you oversell an inventory item in QB, the oversold units don't have accurate COGS, so QB will make adjustments like this.

Ok the deal is that the company started in April and we started quickbook in September. Everything was transfered over, well almost everything. The invoices were but some of the purchases were not. So when some invoices were purchased it put the inventory in negetive. We are a compay that is pretty much a middle man for chemicals. So we purchase chemicals for a customer and the vender delivers them to the customer. Vender bills us, we bill customer at a mark up.

"The invoices were but some of the purchases were not. So when some invoices were purchased it put the inventory in negetive."

 

That's why this happened.  Letting your inventory go negative causes all sorts of weirdness in QB.  QB has to go back and update your COGS when you oversell an item when you finally receive the product.  That's because it was unable to accurately calculate COGS at the time you oversold the item because it didn't know the actual cost of the items on the invoice.
