Carry out this task

  1. Save the Before values on the linked tool.
  2. Increase Full bottles only after receiving the sauce.
  3. Calculate & Save the After values on the same item. Check the ID is retained rather than creating another physical item.

Calculation and observed tool result

Before

0 bottles × 250 ml + 100 ml = 100 ml

Recorded quantity: 100 ml.

After

3 bottles × 250 ml + 100 ml = 850 ml

Recorded quantity: 850 ml.

What the result means

The shelf gains 750 ml while preserving the measured open stock.

Limits of this example

Use another record if the new sauce has a different bottle size.

A mistake to avoid

Resetting the remainder to a full capacity would add liquid that was not received.
