Calculation and observed tool result

Contents rows sum to 0 items. Check each row, unit and packaging.

Recorded quantity: 0 items.

What the result means

The record totals zero while preserving the box identifier.

A mistake to avoid

A blank contents field is rejected instead of assumed empty.

Limits of this example

Replace the zero row when real contents are added.
