Carry out this task

  1. Save the Before values on the linked tool.
  2. Reduce sealed refills and add their sheets to the open count.
  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

3 × 100 + 0 = 300 sheets

Recorded quantity: 300 sheets.

After

2 × 100 + 100 = 300 sheets

Recorded quantity: 300 sheets.

What the result means

Three hundred sheets remain before dispensing.

Limits of this example

Use separate location records if the dispenser leaves this counted area.

A mistake to avoid

Opening a refill does not destroy its sheets.
