Cause
The material you have chosen has a Perpetual Cost Method as 'Standard'. The inventory cost cannot be changed by adjusting through Manual Journal Entry Voucher. This is a standard system behavior.
Resolution
You must select the material which has Perpetual Cost Method as 'Moving average'. The moving average cost is adjusted automatically based on the charge or credit.
