Fixed Surplus food stores used before caravan supplies?

When building a settlement I carry enough supplies to build the city planner desk and IDEK's Logistics Station. That gives me access to supplies for building and things like extra food, water, and scrap for donating as soon as the caravans get assigned.

Something I've noticed is that donated food and water stores get used up even though the shortfalls are being filled by the caravans. Is this behavior what others are seeing even with the standard caravans? If you are importing food and/or water does the game use up the donated supplies?

This is what I've noticed as well. Even with settlements that have well-established caravans, the donated supplies are used up within a few days. Actually, even if I have food and water stored in the workbench, the donated supplies are used up first.
 
It might just be a timing problem. I'll put that on my list of things to investigate.
