In the Unit Supply Detail, a unit could have a negative number of replacements. What does it mean?

At the bottom of the Details, it shows no freight 0, no trucks 90, no fuel 0, no supply 0, no manpower 32.

If the word of "no" is the abbreviation of "number", the number of freight cannot be 0 because the unit has been supplied. If it means none, what does no trucks 90 mean?

37.12 in the Manual on page 460 in the "dead manual".

To be precise, 37.12.3 should answer all your questions concerning the "negatives" and the "no" (i hope).

Yes. It helps. Thanks.

If there is a number of 100 next to the replacements, does it mean 100 numbers of men for replacements or 100 tons of freights converted to the replacements?
If it is a negative number say -100 (received < return to pool, received minus return to pool=negative), how many men have been received for replacement?

One last question. Why we need these information shown at the bottom of the Unit Supply Detail? If there are numbers next to the no freight, no trucks etc., what are these signs of warning regarding the status of the unit?

Thanks for posting the manual section.

Some number of damaged elements get returned to the pool each turn (unless isolated), so that's where you generate negative replacements (not sure what section or sections gives more specifics on that).
