A stock move can record boxes, packs or individual pieces. GS1 US’s packaging documentation describes several levels of product containment. A distributor can design a small test for checking quantities during a replenishment. GS1 US packaging levels
Use generic nonsharp supplies in two dummy boxes. One contains ten identical practice items. The other is an assortment with no stated component breakdown. Ask which individual count can be computed from the written basis and which requires inspection. Have the reviewer trace the calculation.
Use owned props, original forms and consenting adults if filmed. Exclude inventory exports, supplier pricing and real customer orders.
Describe a staged bulk supply sample
Original Fiund exercise
An assortment box does not supply individual counts without a component breakdown
Original nonsharp stock props use two empty boxes and an invented replenishment record. No actual inventory export, supplier price or customer order appears.
| Record | Source | What it records |
|---|---|---|
| IBU1 | Box A label | Each A box contains ten identical practice pieces of component X. Move record confirms two A boxes to shelf S. |
| IBU2 | Box B label | One B assortment box moved to S; label says mixed X and Y without counts or ratios. Contents not inspected. |
| IBU3 | Summary draft | Uses A's ten-per-box count for B and lists all 30 as X. No approved conversion or component breakdown for B. |
Question for the model
What individual quantity can be computed, and why does B need an inspection or separate packing source?
Show the reference answer and checks
IBU1 supports 20 X pieces in the two matched A boxes. IBU2 establishes one moved assortment box, not its total individual count or X/Y split. IBU3's 30-X total borrows a product-specific pack size and disregards mixed contents. Preserve A's supported piece subtotal and B's box-level move separately until a B-specific packing list or reviewed count exists. A box unit alone does not identify its components.
- Applying a homogeneous box conversion to a different assortment.
- Counting every component in a mixed box as the first listed item.
Fields to preserve
- Stock item and package level
- Defines the movement.
- Pack size and component composition
- Supports conversion.
- Shelf destination and inspection state
- Preserves the unresolved count.
Test another case
Add B's verified total ten but no X/Y breakdown. Require 30 total pieces while X-only count remains at least 20 with its exact aggregate unresolved.
Use original forms and owned nonsharp props. Exclude actual exports, prices and customer files.
