I am very sorry, but this is not working or I am doing something incorrectly. Attached is a PDF file of my steps. For these purposes, I will reference our 8 oz Black Metal Tin
When we receive inventory, the inventory is recorded into the applicable inventory account (Vendor, Enter Bills, Items, Select the Applicable Items, Quantity, Cost). This was recorded as item 8 oz. Black Metal Tin (Merchandise Sales - Income Account). Our total quantity is 150. Per your suggestion, I also added the 8 oz Black Metal Tin (Product Test) and used the Product Testing (Expense) for the Income account. I then created an invoice with the Customer Name, Product Testing. On this invoice, I selected the 8 oz Metal Tin (Product Test), Quantity 1, $0.00. Once this was completed, I returned to my Item List to see if the inventory was deducted from the the 8 oz Black Metal Tin, where it was originally recorded, and added to my 8 oz Black Metal Tin (Product Test). There was no change to the 8 oz Black Metal Tin, but there was a -1 recorded in the 8 oz Black Metal Tin (Product Test).
In addition, the Product Testing Expense account recorded the 8 oz Black Metal Tin (Product Test), but with a $0.00 value. It did decrease the Inventory Asset account by the $2.57 cost of the tin. This process works well to decrease the value of the Inventory Asset account, but it is not properly recording the quantities on hand, meaning it is not moving quantities from the 8 oz Metal Tin Inventory Merchandise Sales Account and putting the quantities into the 8 oz Metal Inventory Product Testing account. This is the missing step.
Any more thoughts?
