Is this a separate system from the parts inventory?

No, and deliberately not. It is the same engine and the same store, with the van kept apart from the maintenance shelf and the office cupboard by which area a line belongs to. Two inventory systems would eventually give two answers to the same question.

Does it tell me what my van should carry?

No. Every par level here is one you set. What a van should carry depends on the work that van does, the season and the calls it takes, and no list this product could publish would be right for yours. It suggests no quantity and supplies no stock list.

How is the quantity on hand worked out?

It is the sum of the movements you recorded — what was loaded on, what was used on a job, what came back off. It is never typed in directly, which is what lets you correct a bad count without erasing the record of what was used.

Does it order parts or hold prices?

No. There are no purchase orders, no prices, no approvals and no supplier connection anywhere in it. A par level puts an item on a low-stock list and has no other effect; a person decides what to do about it.

Van stock count

Inventory

What is on the van, counted from what went on and what came off.

What is on the van, and what came off it or went onto it. The count is the sum of the movements and is never typed. Every par level is one you set: this product publishes no recommended van stock and supplies no list, because what a van should carry depends on the work it does. It raises no purchase orders, prices nothing and talks to no supplier — a par level here puts an item on a list and has no other effect anywhere.

Van stock count

Item	Group	Number	Where	On hand	Unit	Level	Counted

On hand is the sum of everything received, used and corrected — not a number anybody typed over. The last column is for a physical count; differences go back in as a correction with a reason.

One engine, three cupboards

This is not a second inventory system. It is the same movements, the same arithmetic and the same store the maintenance parts list uses, with one thing declared differently: which shelf a line belongs to. A van is a shelf that drives away. That is why a coupling counted on the truck never turns up on the shop list and a box of pens never turns up here, and why none of the three has to own a store of its own.

The count adds itself up

You do not type a quantity. You record what moved — a restock loaded on, a fitting used on a call, something brought back — and the number on hand is the sum of those movements. A stored quantity is a number somebody eventually overwrites, and the moment they do, the record of what was used goes with it. A count that came out wrong is corrected by recording the correction.

The par levels are yours

What a van should carry depends on the work it does, and this product publishes no recommended van stock, no minimum list and no seasonal quantity. Every figure here is one somebody typed in because they know the route. A par level puts an item on a low-stock list so the truck gets restocked before the call that needs it; it orders nothing.
