Carry out this task

  1. Save the Before values on the linked tool.
  2. Remove that roll from full stock without altering loose bags.
  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

3 × 20 + 6 = 66 bags

Recorded quantity: 66 bags.

After

2 × 20 + 6 = 46 bags

Recorded quantity: 46 bags.

What the result means

The correction subtracts exactly twenty liners.

Limits of this example

Verify that the remaining counted rolls are genuinely full.

A mistake to avoid

Deleting loose bags as well would make a second unsupported adjustment.
