Problem statement
When taking stock counts, there are several other ways besides counting to take stock. For example, with hardware like screws, taking the weight of a number of stock items and dividing by the individual item weight is a common practice, for SMT reels, measuring spool inner diameter, tape thickness, part spacing and then for each stocktake the remaining tape thickness is also widely used.
Suggested solution
It would be nice to add such part counting helps to the stocktake dialogue, and store the necessary base data (in above examples the individual item weight or the inner spool diameter, tape thickness and part spacing) and the type of partcount estimation helper (weight, smt reel turns, smt tape length, ...), with the stock item
Describe alternatives you've considered
It is possible to always count parts, which is error prone and in some case more time consuming than necessary for the desired degree of accuracy. It is also possible to use external part count estimation helpers such as the tool linked above, but that requires to store the necessary base data and paste it into that tool.
