Carry out this task

  1. Save the Before values on the linked tool.
  2. Edit the room on the same numbered box.
  3. Calculate & Save the After values on the same item. Check the ID is retained rather than creating another physical item.

Before

Contents rows sum to 18 items. Check each row, unit and packaging.

Recorded quantity: 18 items.

After

Contents rows sum to 18 items. Check each row, unit and packaging.

Recorded quantity: 18 items.

What the result means

A mistake to avoid

Creating a new carton record would duplicate the books.
