Carry out this task

  1. Save the Before values on the linked tool.
  2. Add three full bottles after receipt.
  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 × 300 ml + 80 ml = 80 ml

Recorded quantity: 80 ml.

After

3 bottles × 300 ml + 80 ml = 980 ml

Recorded quantity: 980 ml.

What the result means

The updated shelf holds 980 ml.

Limits of this example

Confirm the delivered capacity before adding stock.

A mistake to avoid

Resetting the open remainder to 300 ml would invent extra liquid.
