Name of Feature/Request: Serial Number by Location Report is not netting quantity to 0 when an item is sold in a location without the inventory and a subsequent Inventory Transfer is complete to move it to the correct location

What financial, time savings, or quality of life improvements will occur from this: Provide consistency in how Qty on Hand appears in the Serial Numbers by Location Report | Frequency: Anytime an item is sold with a serial number that is not currently in the correct location being sold from | Causing additional efforts to manually adjust inventory so the Serial Number by Location report reflects 0 qty on hand instead of +1.

Attempted Solutions So Far: Ensure the serial number is in the location being invoiced before the invoice is created and choose that location.  
Always invoice after the inventory/serial number has been transferred into the location it is being sold from.

Digging deep - Any additional Why behind this request / How was this accomplished before Striven in what system or software: Original Description: Serial Number by Location Report is not netting quantity to 0 when an item is sold in a location without the inventory and a subsequent Inventory Transfer is complete to move it to the correct location. Instead it shows two lines for a -1 and a +1. | Previously accomplished: Have to do additional adjustments to make the report reflect 0 correctly
