I'd like to be able to do one or both of the following:

1) Have a function to split a lot. Say I have 5 of a minifig and I decide I
want to separate two of them to possibly part out later. I'd like to have
a simple tool to make that into a lot of 3 and a lot of 2 where I can quickly
change the remarks or stockroom options, but leave everything else the same.

2) Be able to have part of a lot in the stockroom and part of it for sale. Say
I have a lot of 50 of a part, but on an inventory I only find 45 of them. 5
of them probably got stuck in the wrong place and will be found. I'd like
to be able to make that lot say I have 50, but only 45 for sale.

For 2, just change qty to 45 and leave a remark to add five when found.

Yes, that's what I do, but it clutters up my remarks. It would be useful
for other things, too.

I use my remarks for location and pricing. I would not want to clutter up the
remarks with more information.

In that case change the number, click the item number and add more inventory
as a separate lot. I know it's an extra few clucks but it does the job.

That's what #1 would be for. I want to do it easily on my iPad.

Yeah, I understand. Although there are probably higher priority things to be
done than something that isn't required very often and has an easy work around
that just involves a few more clicks.
