Carry out this task

  1. Save the Before values on the linked tool.
  2. Add received refills without substituting the dispenser’s nominal capacity.
  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 × 120 + 40 = 40 sheets

Recorded quantity: 40 sheets.

After

3 × 120 + 40 = 400 sheets

Recorded quantity: 400 sheets.

What the result means

Four hundred sheets are recorded after delivery.

Limits of this example

The example refill size is an entered specification, not a product claim.

A mistake to avoid

A dispenser’s maximum capacity is not its current remainder.
