Importing new serial numbers into Physical Count

Using VI to import into physical count.  On serialized items, if I import a new serial number (did not previously exist in the system), the "frozen" qoh (which should be 0) is incorrect.  If I had 3 new serial numbers for the same part, each new line shows 3 as the frozen QOH (which of course should be impossible for a serial number, anyway, which is always qty 1).  Of course throws the variance off, since each one then shows a variance of 2.  WTH?
