John, >>>On old QB-DOS invoices where complimentary product was given away, we'd choose an item, then either erase the quantity or set the price to 0.00. Under QB Win's reports for "sales by item", these invoice items display strangely. The erased quantities show up as -1 in the report, but examination of the invoice shows it erased. The zeroed prices show as -0.00 in both the report and the invoice.<<< QBW tracks inventory, so when you place an item on an invoice and don't specify a QTY, we assume that it's a sale of 1, or a reduction in inventory of 1 (-1). Normally, the reports flip the sign around as you would expect a sales to be positive. In the case that you also charge nothing for it, the Sales by item gets the sign wrong. The inventory report is correct. This problem is being addressed. The work-around is to remember to force the sign by using a QTY of 1. Regards, Tim @Intuit
