Unable to Create Invoice

I'm attempting to create my first invoice. I enter a number for Quantity and Rate. As I tab to the next field the Quantity goes blank and of course nothing populates the Amount field. What is the fix?

    It looks like my problem is resolved. I added the exact same information to line two of the invoice and the quantity and rate extended to a line total and the invoice total and tax came out correctly. I created my second invoice and line 1 of that invoice did what it is supposed to do. Something seems to be interfering behind the scene with just line 1 of the that first invoice.....bizarre!?

    All seems well at this point. Thanks folks for your suggestions!

    I can't reproduce your problem. If I enter the Quantity and Rate, the Amount is calculated correctly. What Release of Quicken are you using? What is the full path to the folder that contains your Quicken data file? Are you using OneDrive, Dropbox or Google Drive? I'm using Quicken Subscription HB&RP Release R21.16.

    If you have created line item descriptions for the items or services you sell, the description must not be marked "Subtotal of preceding items" unless, i.e., you really need to create a "Subtotal" line in your invoice, as the example below shows
