We purchase labels on a spool of 25,000. Our supplier always adds an additional 500 labels (for good measure) to every spool but does not invoice us for these extra units. When receiving in the spools, is there a way to automatically “count-in” the additional 500 units so that the quantity on our handling units reflects what is actually on the spools?

Or has anyone else run in to this issue and found another way to easily identify material shortages due to awaiting
