Understanding Your Results
Count usable rolls rather than empty cores. Opening a pack changes its classification, not the total number of usable rolls.
The quantity beside the item name is the stock value used for LOW STOCK: quantity at or below your minimum triggers that status. Additional days, cycles, sets or dates describe the entered assumptions; they are not a live measurement. Recount after use, receipt or relocation. A different device reads the printed snapshot and does not automatically receive later inventory changes.
Roll count does not measure sheets or remaining paper length.
Practical Examples
These are illustrative household inputs, not product specifications or recommended use rates. Enter each record below, select Calculate & Save, and compare the displayed calculation.
Count a family bathroom reserve without counting empty packaging
The shelf holds sealed paper packs and loose usable rolls.
Inspect loose rolls separately from the sealed packs.
Inputs: Full packs: 2; Rolls per pack: 12; Loose rolls: 3.
Result: 2 × 12 + 3 = 27 rolls Saved quantity: 27 rolls.
Twenty-seven rolls are available at this shelf.
Roll count does not measure sheets or remaining paper length.
Read the full worked exampleSeparate guest-bathroom rolls from the main reserve
Guest supplies are unavailable to the main bathroom unless moved.
Save location-specific entries and filter by bathroom name.
Inputs — record 1: Full packs: 1; Rolls per pack: 12; Loose rolls: 2.
Result: 1 × 12 + 2 = 14 rolls Saved quantity: 14 rolls.
Inputs — record 2: Full packs: 0; Rolls per pack: 6; Loose rolls: 4.
Result: 0 × 6 + 4 = 4 rolls Saved quantity: 4 rolls.
Four guest rolls remain visible instead of being attributed to the main shelf.
Moving rolls requires updating both records.

A six-roll format arrives alongside twelve-roll packs.
Keep one specification per record.
Inputs — record 1: Full packs: 1; Rolls per pack: 12; Loose rolls: 0.
Result: 1 × 12 + 0 = 12 rolls Saved quantity: 12 rolls.
Inputs — record 2: Full packs: 2; Rolls per pack: 6; Loose rolls: 0.
Result: 2 × 6 + 0 = 12 rolls Saved quantity: 12 rolls.
Each format supplies twelve rolls, but their pack counts differ.
Different roll lengths are not assumed equivalent.

A minimum of one would not flag this state. The two remaining rolls meet the warning threshold. The warning cannot estimate days without consumption data.
Leaving both components unchanged would double-count the opened pack. The total remains eleven rolls before any roll is used. Loose count can exceed a retail pack size when several packs are opened.
Do not remove another sealed pack to represent those three cores. Fourteen rolls remain after the correction. A partly used roll still counts as one in this roll-based record.
How do I correct a reserve after removing three used-up rolls?
Remove only the three depleted rolls from usable stock. Fourteen rolls remain after the correction.
A partly used roll still counts as one in this roll-based record.
How do I keep a compact travel paper allocation separate?
Subtract the moved rolls from their original location before adding this allocation. The travel box contains three counted rolls.
Storage suitability is outside the counter’s calculation.
How do I review an empty paper cupboard before shopping?
Keep the zero entry as a reference for the usual pack size. The low-stock view includes the empty cupboard.
The site does not automatically order replacements.
How do I add delivered paper while preserving loose rolls?
Increase unopened packs after verifying delivery. The stock rises from one to thirteen rolls.
Count only goods already received.
How do I rebuild a paper label after moving the reserve?
Save the new location and rebuild the QR. Both snapshots describe fourteen rolls, but only the new one names the hall cupboard.
The old label remains readable elsewhere.
