This is due to the behavior of QuickBooks entry. When a transaction entered in QuickBooks, and set up an inventory item your Inventory List, QuickBooks automatically adjusts the values between Inventory Asset and Cost of Goods Sold.
For example, consider you have an entry in QuickBooks for Spare Parts and the amount entered is 45, 520.
When it migrates to TallyPrime, you can see the difference by adding two more entries called Inventory Asset and Cost of Goods Sold i.e., direct costs for 23,200.
These two extra entries are not visible in the QuickBooks entry. However, when you go to More > Transaction Journal, you can see these entries are added automatically by QuickBooks.
To know more about this behaviour refer to Understand inventory assets and cost of goods sold tracking.
