The answer lies in the response on the this community thread

"you cannot change the quantity of a Consumable record after it is created, You have to Consume the consumable to decrease the quantity, or create a new consumable record with the same model to increase the quantity."

There is an access security rule that doesn't let anyone adjust the quantity count.  Alternatively one could build functionality to manually override this value with an approval flow built in for doing inventory adjustments.  Or skip the approvals and just log the quantity adjustment.  In the pre HAM workspace this would be done with a UI Action similar to the existing 'Consume" UI Action on consumables.
