When an item receipt is recorded, the information entered in the Receive Item window is transferred to an order -- a new order is created or an existing order is updated. All of the information on the order can be edited -- except the quantity in the Received column.
If you want to edit the detail of the order, such as the Vendor Invoice # or the Comment, you'll find the order and edit the order. (To find a quote or order)
If you want to edit a quantity entered in the Received column of an order or bill, however, you must create another item receipt to adjust the quantity.
You'll enter the vendor's name in the Purchases window - Item layout - Receive Item and select the order you wish to change -- the order that has the incorrect quantity in the Received column. You'll enter the difference between the correct amount and the incorrect amount.
That is, you'll enter a positive quantity to increase the Received quantity or a negative quantity to decrease the Received quantity.
When you record the item receipt, the changed quantity will appear on the order.
Note: Deleting and reversing in a sequence -- one transaction at a time.
Note: Quantities in the Received column on purchases aren't saved on recurring transactions
