Measurements and assumptions

Record A

Full bottles0
Capacity per bottle (ml)500
Open bottle remaining (ml)90

Calculation and observed tool result

Record A

0 bottles × 500 ml + 90 ml = 90 ml

Recorded quantity: 90 ml.

Record B

2 bottles × 500 ml + 0 ml = 1,000 ml

Recorded quantity: 1,000 ml.

Carry out this task

  1. Open the linked tool for Record A.
  2. Give the two locations their own records and scan the relevant shelf label.
  3. Check each result separately; follow the interpretation before retaining both records as physical stock.

What the result means

The working shelf has only 90 ml despite a larger reserve elsewhere.

A mistake to avoid

A shared location entry would make the cooking shelf appear well supplied.

Limits of this example

Recount both records after a physical transfer between these locations.
