Carry out this task

  1. Save the Before values on the linked tool.
  2. Reduce the hinge row on the existing location entry.
  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 9 items. Check each row, unit and packaging.

Recorded quantity: 9 items.

After

Contents rows sum to 7 items. Check each row, unit and packaging.

Recorded quantity: 7 items.

What the result means

Seven pieces remain rather than nine.

Limits of this example

The tool cannot infer who removed a fitting.

A mistake to avoid

Changing the cabinet code would not correct the contents count.
