Count packs and units separately in the stock review
Format: Explainer.
A count of “six” is incomplete when the counter means cases and the stock record means individual units.
Microsoft Business Central uses a base unit, such as one clip, and other units, such as a pack. Its Qty. per Unit of Measure field says how many base units make up that pack. [S11] That is a saved rule. It does not prove that each box is full.
Use this stock-count note:
Item and bin / sealed packs counted / loose units / opened packs checked / units per pack and source / total units / stock record / gap / counter / reviewer.
Hypothetical example: staff count six sealed packs of cable clips and three loose clips. The approved record says ten clips per pack. The calculated total is 63 clips. The stock record says 65. That leaves a gap of two, based on the stated pack count and rule.
Do not write “six available” or change stock yet. Check that the pack rule fits these boxes. Check opened packs under the count rules. Review picks and receipts during the count. An old label or a pick not yet logged may explain the gap. If no one checked inside the sealed packs, say so. A computed total is not a count of each clip.
The reviewer must approve any stock change through the normal process. This note records what staff found. It does not change stock.
Core Agentic can plan custom software to help staff review pack counts. Test item codes and units per pack against approved records. Do not guess them from a product name. This is a possible design, not a live warehouse connection.
