Only a small set of features adds data to your spreadsheet and nothing 
in Calc will ever remove any data automatically. You have to do that by 
hand or by means of a macro program.
It seems to be another inventory task which should be done in a database 
program of your choice. Later you may connect your database to this 
office suite (this is what the Base component does) and use Calc or 
Writer as "output medium" for pretty printing and further calculations.
