  2. Replace the rough remainder on the existing item.
  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 = 0 × 500 + 150 = 150 ml; floor(150 ÷ 10) = 15 treatments

Recorded quantity: 150 ml.

After

Stock = 0 × 500 + 110 = 110 ml; floor(110 ÷ 10) = 11 treatments

Recorded quantity: 110 ml.

What the result means

The estimate falls from fifteen to eleven complete treatments.

Limits of this example

The measuring method limits accuracy.
