Check a multi-parcel order before any parcel is handed over

Use a parcel manifest to locate each order line and prevent a sealed first box from hiding an unfinished second box.

Build a parcel manifest from actual contents

O-H has ten cups and four stands. The synthetic order instruction requires one complete handover, not partial dispatch. Cups are split between parcels P-H1 and P-H2; stands belong to P-H2. Parcel labels identify packages but do not prove that their contents are complete.

Complete the manifest before the handover

  1. Assign parcels to order
  2. Record actual contents per parcel
  3. Compare totals with order lines
  4. Check and seal remaining parcel
  5. Handover both parcel IDs together

A missing parcel or unsealed required parcel keeps the complete-order handover pending; a driver collecting early is not a partial-dispatch approval.

The final handover names P-H1 and P-H2, not merely “two boxes”. Preserve their content lines for later loss or shortage investigation. If the order owner later permits a partial dispatch, record which parcel and which remaining lines are affected before handing anything over.

With P-H1 sealed and P-H2 still open, is O-H ready under the supplied instruction?

Show the worked answer

No. Content totals match ten cups and four stands, but both required parcels must be ready. Seal and identify P-H2 before the complete handover.
