- 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 = 0 × 1000 + 500 = 500 g; floor(500 ÷ 60) = 8 loadsRecorded quantity: 500 g.
After
Stock = 0 × 1000 + 380 = 380 g; floor(380 ÷ 60) = 6 loadsRecorded quantity: 380 g.
What the result means
Complete loads fall from eight to six.
Limits of this example
Weighing accuracy limits the estimate.
A mistake to avoid
Do not average the estimate with the new measurement.
