Parts & Stock Levels

A part is one line in your catalogue — Gemfan 51466 3-blade, T-Motor F60 Pro V 2020KV, XT60 connector. It is described once and then carries a stock figure for every storage location you have.

Adding a part

Add Part opens a form with the descriptive fields first. Only the part name is required; everything else is there to make a long list searchable and unambiguous later:

• Category — Propeller, Motor, Battery, Hardware, and so on. Categories you already used are offered as suggestions, which keeps the spelling consistent, and the table is grouped by them.
• Manufacturer and part number — the details that tell two similar items apart when you re-order.
• Unit — pcs, set, m. It is shown next to the total so a roll of wire does not read like a bag of screws.
• Notes — anything else worth remembering: which build it belongs to, where it was bought.

Stock per location

Below the description, the form lists every storage location with two numbers:

• In stock — how many you have there right now.
• Minimum — how many you want to have there. Leave it at zero for parts you simply keep count of; set it for the parts you never want to run out of.

The minimum is what the rest of the feature reacts to. A quantity below its minimum is drawn in amber, a quantity of zero with a minimum set is drawn in red, and both feed the below minimum counter on the location tiles and the packing list in the Travel Planner. A part without any minimum is never reported as missing — no target, nothing to fall short of.

Correcting counts from the table

Stock changes constantly, so you do not have to open the form for it. Every cell in the table has a minus and a plus button that write the new count immediately. After a crash that cost two propellers, two clicks on the CH column keep the list honest.

Under each count the table shows the minimum for that location, and the Totalcolumn adds up all locations so you can see at a glance whether a part is scarce everywhere or only in the wrong place.

Finding things in a long list

Three filters sit above the table and can be combined:

• Search — matches the name, category, manufacturer, and part number.
• Location chips — All plus one chip per location. A location chip keeps the parts that are actually relevant there: those with something in stock, or with a minimum defined for that place.
• Below minimum — narrows the list to the parts that are short somewhere. The number on the button is how many those are.

Deleting a part

The bin icon removes a part together with its stock figures at every location, after a confirmation. Deleting a part does not touch your locations, and there is no undo — for something you may buy again, setting the quantity to zero is the better move.
