Carry out this task

  1. Open the linked tool and enter the displayed values.
  2. Choose Calculate & Save before opening My Items.
  3. Save and inspect the low-stock list.

Calculation and observed tool result

Stock = 0 × 1000 + 200 = 200 ml; floor(200 ÷ 50) = 4 loads

Recorded quantity: 200 ml. Minimum comparison: 200 ≤ 250 is true.

What the result means

The stock is below minimum while still supporting four full loads.

A mistake to avoid

A minimum of five loads is not entered directly into a millilitre field.

Limits of this example

The warning is not automatic replenishment.
