Carry out this task

  1. Save the Before values on the linked tool.
  2. Edit this location record to reflect the physical move.
  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

Contents rows sum to 5 items. Check each row, unit and packaging.

Recorded quantity: 5 items.

After

Contents rows sum to 5 items. Check each row, unit and packaging.

Recorded quantity: 5 items.

What the result means

Five tools remain counted while their code and drawer change.

Limits of this example

Check whether other items still require the old location record.

A mistake to avoid

A duplicate unchanged record would leave two apparent locations.
