There should be no difference of "professional"  opinion.    The way QB works (or any accounting software) is to adjust purchases when inventory is adjusted.  This is basic Accounting 101 

If the "professional" picks up the already adjusted purchases number, then allows Lacerte to also do that adjustment by the math of the delta between beginning inventory and ending inventory.....well, that said "professional" should hang up their professional shingle.   

I use "inventory delta" as a specific line item in the purchases area to track this adjustment.
