Record a parent-to-child split
A synthetic carton C-A contains thirty identical units from lot L-C. Staff split it into three reusable containers of ten. Containers are local custody identifiers, not new manufacturing lots. No product processing or regulated repacking claim is made.
| Container | Parent / lot | Units | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| C-A | Original / L-C | 30 before split; 0 after | Split completed SP-A |
| C-A-1 | C-A / L-C | 10 | Label and count checked |
| C-A-2 | C-A / L-C | 10 | Label and count checked |
| C-A-3 | C-A / L-C | 10 | Label and count checked |
Complete the split before releasing child containers
- Count parent container
- Assign child container IDs
- Carry parent lot to each label
- Reconcile child quantities
- Close parent and release children
If one child label is missing, hold that container and verify its origin before issue; do not borrow a neighbouring label.
SP-A records the person doing the split and the count check. Picking four units from C-A-2 later leaves six there and still traces to L-C. Do not keep thirty on the parent while also posting thirty on the children, because that would duplicate physical stock.
After four units leave C-A-2, how many remain across the three children?
Show the worked answer
Twenty-six: ten in C-A-1, six in C-A-2 and ten in C-A-3. The empty parent contributes zero; every child retains L-C.
