In which (account) register are you entering Step2?  Most likely you're
not in the Asset:Inventory register, and therefore when the transaction
is entered it's not "attached" to the currently open register window,
and therefore disappears.  If you open Asset:Inventory you should see it
there.

This would also explain why it's not modifying the current account
balance, because you have no splits that touch the current account.
