- Qty Available is calculated as [Qty Available minus Qty to Use], which in effect increases the Qty Available.
For each Stock Item in the Stock Items master file:
- Qty on Hand is calculated as Qty on Hand minus Qty to Use (on the Work Task Spares record for the Stock Item), which in effect increases the Qty on Hand.
