Carry out this task

  1. Save the Before values on the linked tool.
  2. Correct the full-pack count after inspecting the containers.
  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

Stock = 2 × 500 + 50 = 1,050 ml; floor(1,050 ÷ 100) = 10 refills

Recorded quantity: 1,050 ml.

After

Stock = 1 × 500 + 50 = 550 ml; floor(550 ÷ 100) = 5 refills

Recorded quantity: 550 ml.

What the result means

The corrected stock loses exactly 500 ml.

Limits of this example

Container count and liquid remainder need separate checks.

A mistake to avoid

Do not erase the separate 50 ml remainder.
