What is the best way to track a rolling balance?

I have a small database that mostly keeps track of material quantities going into jobs we do. I have been able to make this work well for me. I now want to add the tracking of a rolling balance of one particular material that we keep a small amount in inventory. Is there a straight forward way to track a rolling balance in Access other than simply tracking the sums of the increases and decreases forever?

I'm not sure what you're working with here.
What data is available to you to work with?

You could create a tracking table which would tract the inputs and outputs of the inventory of this material which would allow you to get a balance at any time.

Or

You could have a rolling balance field which is updated by code whenever the inventory is increased or decreased.
