Carry out this task

  1. Save the Before values on the linked tool.
  2. Edit the existing record after the cartons are actually received.
  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

1 bundles × 8 packs + 2 open packs = 10 packs

Recorded quantity: 10 packs.

After

4 bundles × 8 packs + 2 open packs = 34 packs

Recorded quantity: 34 packs.

What the result means

The delivery adds 24 packs; it does not replenish an already counted open sachet.

Limits of this example

Count the delivered bundle specification before accepting the stock increase.

A mistake to avoid

Do not record ordered goods as received stock.
