Change a carton conversion without rewriting old receipts

Attach the agreed pack revision to each purchase and receipt so a new carton size cannot alter historical quantities.

Identify which cartons use each pack revision

The supplier changes item IT-A from twelve to ten units per carton. The synthetic policy uses the explicitly agreed purchase-line pack revision, supported by actual carton contents; arrival date alone does not choose the conversion. Old stock keeps revision P1 and new stock P2.

Keep conversions attached to their transactions

  1. Obtain revised pack evidence
  2. Approve new revision for identified orders
  3. Verify contents on receipt
  4. Post base units with revision
  5. Leave older receipts unchanged

An unconfirmed or mixed carton stays unconverted until it is counted or assigned an evidenced pack revision.

R-A remains thirty-six even after P2 becomes the default for new orders. R-C needs its own evidence; borrowing P2 would invent twenty units. This worksheet assumes a countable item, not variable-weight goods, and does not define cost recalculation.

What is the confirmed total from R-A and R-B, and can R-C be added?

Show the worked answer

Sixty-six confirmed units: 3 × 12 + 3 × 10. R-C cannot contribute a confirmed base quantity until its pack content is resolved.
