Probably. But I wouldn't take that path: If your function
has a bug, you'll have /no/ record of what went wrong, but
only some numbers that may or may not be correct.

  So I'd rather use a more elaborate table structure where
you can track when you bought/planned to use/used what quan-
tity of items, and then use SUM() & Co. to report what you
own and what you need to buy.
