Negative item adjustment created correct ledger entries but offsetting value and GL entries.

Hello,
I wanted to ask if anyone has experienced a scenario where posting a negative adjustment for an item in the item journal creates both negative and positive quantities in the value entries, along with a four-line GL entry? In this case, the first two lines are correct (debit and credit), but the third and fourth lines are reversals of the first two, resulting in a net effect of zero in the GL entries. This issue only occurs with a specific item.
I have already tried posting a negative adjustment using the same posting groups and location with a different item code, and the entries were posted correctly. I extracted the configuration package for both items and compared their details, but their item cards have the exact same setup, posting groups, tracking code, and costing method (average). However, I still experienced different results during negative adjustments, even though I used the same parameters (location and posting groups).
Any insights or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

    We can see that the system posts the positive adjustment due to its automatic cost adjustment function, as the 'Adjustment' boolean in the value entries is set to yes. To confirm why this is happening, we need more information:
    1. What is the item's costing method?
    2. Is the negative adjustment entry you’re posting being applied to anything? In the item ledger entries, what is the status of the 'Open' field? If you select the entry and click on 'Applied Entries,' do you see any related entries? If so, can you provide details of this transaction.
