Carry out this task

  1. Save the Before values on the linked tool.
  2. Edit packet quantity after the actual sowing event.
  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

Counted stock = 3; keep the entered specifications with this label.

Recorded quantity: 3 items.

After

Counted stock = 2; keep the entered specifications with this label.

Recorded quantity: 2 items.

What the result means

Two packets remain recorded.

Limits of this example

Partial packet contents are not counted as individual seeds here.

A mistake to avoid

Changing the sowing date alone does not subtract a packet.
