>>I am trying to decide which word is better for the title of a feature. The purpose of this feature is to record that a certain quantity of a part was removed from stock (used to maintain an equipment). And I need to come up with the caption for the menu item for this feature. My choices are: "Post Parts Used" or "Post Parts Usage"
>>Which one is better?

Since I am more concerned with "how many parts were used" I will take it that for my case "usage" would be better.
Thank you.
