Correction history

Correction history explains accepted repairs to the original quantities of received or produced stock. It keeps the first amount, the amount used before each correction and the replacement, so you can understand why the starting figure changed.

These are repairs to recorded facts, not extra deliveries, harvests or physical losses. Current Stock combines the corrected starting amount with accepted consumption to show what remains today.

Find an accepted quantity correction

In the search cell near the top (B4), enter a Stock number or Correction number. Compare the first amount, the amount used before the correction and the replacement, then read why the change was made. Delete the text in the search cell to show all accepted quantity corrections, newest first.

This history only shows applied corrections. If yours is still unfinished, read Save status on Correct quantity. Leave the history cells unchanged; a further repair needs its own entry and reason.

Remaining when applied records the amount at the time of that correction. Later work can change what is left, so use Current Stock for today’s quantity.

Applied on

The Apply action records this date and time when the correction is accepted, using the workbook’s displayed timezone. It tells you when the record was repaired. It is separate from the original arrival or production date and does not imply that new stock arrived at the time of correction.

Correction number

This is the number or label used for the correction on Correct quantity. Find that same row if you need to check the original repair. Running Apply again after an interruption under the same number still represents one correction, not another repair each time you tried it.

Stock number

This identifies the stock whose original amount was corrected. Its stock number and links to notes, moves and production remain together. You can use the same number in Current Stock to see the resulting present quantity.

Originally entered

This is the first quantity entered when the stock arrived or was produced. It stays visible after corrections so that you can compare what was first written with the later repairs. It may no longer be the starting amount used to work out what remains.

Previous original amount

This is the starting quantity used just before this correction. If the amount had been corrected once already, it can be different from Originally entered. Read the corrections in order to understand how the first figure became the starting amount now in use.

Correct original quantity

This is the replacement starting amount accepted by this correction. It replaces the earlier original amount; it does not add a second stock event. Read it with Unit and Correction reason to understand both the measurement and why it changed.

Unit

All quantities in the same correction use the stock’s original unit. Keep that label beside the amounts when comparing them. This history does not convert a count into a weight, or one unit into another.

Correction reason

This is the explanation of the mistake and the evidence used to establish the correct starting quantity. It is what lets a later reader distinguish a repaired tally from something physically used, lost or discarded. Read it before drawing conclusions from the difference between the two amounts.

Recorded by — optional

This is the person or team named on the correction. It can help you know whom to ask about the repair. The Apply action records Applied on, while this name is supplied by the recorder.

Remaining when applied

This is how much remained when the correction was applied, after amounts already recorded as used or lost. It stays as a record of that moment rather than changing with each later job.

Use Current Stock for what remains today. Comparing it with this older amount can help you see why later production use or losses need to be read separately from the repair.
