Quantity on hand changes in IM_Physical after previewing Physical Variance Register

Sage 2019 ver 6.10.4.0

We upgraded 3 years ago and this is the 3rd time I've had this problem so I think it's time to take it to the forums.  I froze the inventory on 12/31/24.  I imported IM_Physical into an access database.  We use that database to record our counts... Then I create an import file and use Visual Integrator to bring in the counts.

When I previewed the physical variance register, it had a much higher variance than I was expecting.. So I compare the live copy of IM_Physical with my saved copy and sure enough, there are about 15 items where the Quantity On Hand has changed since it's been frozen.  There is no real consistency in terms of which items have been updated (not all of them). 

-  I am 100000% certain that no one has "re frozen" the items or anything since the original freeze.  

-  I double checked BEFORE previewing the variance register that there were no differences in Qty on Hand between the live IM_Physical and my saved copy, since I was fully conscious this time that this might happen

-  When I check the items in question, they have been updated in IM_Physical to reflect the transaction activity that has occurred since we finished counting.  

Example Item: AT2-250.  This was frozen with a quantity of 0.  The count was 0.    On 1/16 there was a Work Order Release for 6, and 1 went out on Sales order.  Now the quantity in IM_Physical is 5. 

My solution is just to go into the county file and change the count to 5, so that no variance is posted.

But HOW, WHY, is this happening?  I have asked our consultant and they have never heard of this.

    I have a client on Sage 100 Advanced v2022, with a similar issue.  They make a "backup copy" of their company after they freeze so we have something to refer to.  The Total Quantity On Hand in the IM_Physical file changes, for a few items, without any rhyme or reason.  They also import their counts.  We have not figured it out and I have not opened a case with Sage regarding this since I can't recreate this.  They count their inventory every single month, and this does not happen every month, and only for a few of the frozen items.  It is a mystery. (No third party products; vanilla Sage 100).

    Yes this is the same for us... no third party addons.  The problem doesn't occur until the Physical Variance register is run (but not posted), that's when the Quantity on Hand changes.  

    I checked IM_Audit to see if maybe changes made to CI_Item via Item Maintenance during inventory could trigger this but I did not see any changes to the affected items.  So still dumbfounded.  It was only about 10 items out of about 6,500 but nonetheless it's concerning.
