  2. Correct Full bottles after inspecting the seals.
  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

2 bottles × 330 ml + 50 ml = 710 ml

Recorded quantity: 710 ml.

After

1 bottles × 330 ml + 50 ml = 380 ml

Recorded quantity: 380 ml.

What the result means

The corrected total removes exactly one 330 ml bottle.
