> I find that if I add logs that set the quantity of my bales (using N/A) i get multiple log entries under Records-\>Quantities. So instead of just looking at what the latest “quantity” is, i have to sift through logs to see the latest log, to know what my inventory count is.

The plain farmOS way to do this is to navigate to the asset under which the inventory is being tracked. e.g. You might have a “Hay barn” asset (which is a structure) and add/subtract hay bales from its inventory as hay is acquired/created then used. When used this way, the current inventory for the hay barn will be displayed on the asset page and there is a tab at the top to see the history of the inventory logs.

See [Inventory tracking | farmOS](https://farmos.org/guide/inventory/)

You might also find this thread interesting: [In cab Inventory display / adjustment & alternate Field Tool](https://farmos.discourse.group/t/in-cab-inventory-display-adjustment-alternate-field-tool/1252) It explores alternate interfaces for tracking/recording data that way.
