Carry out this task

  1. Save the Before values on the linked tool.
  2. Increase the received pack count on the existing format.
  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

Stock = 1 × 15 + 0 = 15 tablets; floor(15 ÷ 1) = 15 loads

Recorded quantity: 15 tablets.

After

Stock = 4 × 15 + 0 = 60 tablets; floor(60 ÷ 1) = 60 loads

Recorded quantity: 60 tablets.

What the result means

The delivery adds forty-five tablets to the fifteen already recorded.

Limits of this example

A different product needs its own dose assumption.

A mistake to avoid

Keeping an old thirty-tablet specification would double the delivery.
