Why do all invoice item quantities show as negative via the suiteanalytics datasource versus positive via saved searches?

Poor design choices? Seriously though, I'm guessing it has something to do with Inventory. You can have an inventory-impacting invoice if it's standalone and the "logic" is probably that we'd want to show the -1 for outbound inventory. If that's the reasoning, I don't know why that wasn't done consistently. tbh the Saved Search nodes and SuiteAnalytics ones are often not that close, so I probably wouldn't spend time trying to compare them. You'll just have to keep in mind to check on that kind of thing.

Okay thanks 😮‍💨. At least suiteanalytics make more sense in terms of debits/credits being positive or negative across the board versus the "normal balance" of the account in saved search.

I always make a custom formula to take the quantity and ABS them on the datasets. Then I use that instead of the native quantity field.
