Hi Rookie87,
What's likely happening is that when you do a stock adjustment, the system tries to keep the overall inventory value the same by adding a balancing line (like that extra $549.99 you're seeing). It's MYOB way for making sure your Asset account doesn't change unexpectedly.
Since you're converting raw material into a finished product (painted metal), a better approach might be to use an Auto-Build item, rather than adjusting stock manually. That way, you're correctly moving the cost of raw materials into the finished product without needing to manually adjust inventory values. Here's a helpful article to walk you through that: Auto-Building items.
If you're still stuck or want to be sure your inventory value is showing correctly, best to reach out to our live chat support through our virtual assistant, MOCA, they can dig into your file with you.
