**Hint**\
Items deleted from the Damages & Loss list will be added back to the stock based on the source type. If the damaged or lost item was recorded from the inventory, the quantity of the deleted item will be added back to the stock in the inventory. For the source type "raw materials," the quantity will be added back to the raw materials stock.
