Carry out this task

  1. Save the Before values on the linked tool.
  2. Reduce only the sheet count when no ball-use change is being recorded.
  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

max(0, 500 − 100) = 400 wool-ball cycles remaining (your chosen limit)

Recorded quantity: 40 sheets.

After

max(0, 500 − 100) = 400 wool-ball cycles remaining (your chosen limit)

Recorded quantity: 35 sheets.

What the result means

Sheet stock falls by five while the ball remainder stays four hundred cycles.

Limits of this example

Different drying routines may use different accessories.

A mistake to avoid

Changing both fields without evidence would invent ball use.
