A wholesale catalog can group several coffee packages under one line while a fulfillment record specifies the variants. Census provides wholesale activity scope, and GS1 describes distinct trade item identifiers. A distributor can test whether software preserves package format and approved substitutions. U.S. Census wholesale definitions · GS1 US product identifiers
Design two empty cartons with different format labels and an original variety pack order. Approve a one-for-one substitution on only one line and include a visually similar third variant. Ask what the order permits and what the photo proves.
Use original artwork. Keep actual formulas, customer orders, vendor catalogs and commercial terms out.

Original Fiund exercise
A one-for-one substitution applies to the named package format and order line
An original variety-pack exercise uses empty cartons and invented coffee-format aliases. No beverage, formula, customer, purchase or vendor catalog appears.
| Record | Source | What it records |
|---|---|---|
| SGW1 | Order V | Line 1 expects two cartons of format A; line 2 expects one carton of format B. Original order specifies format IDs. |
| SGW2 | Substitution card | One-for-one approval replaces one A on line 1 with format C. Does not change line 2 or authorize replacing both A cartons. |
| SGW3 | Observed pack-out | Readable one A, one C and one lookalike D. D has different format from B; no second approval or B observation. |
Question for the model
Which line is supported under the approved change, and why is the three-carton total insufficient for the other line?
Show the reference answer and checks
SGW1 through SGW3 support line one's two cartons as one original A plus one approved C substitute. Line two still requires B, but the observed third carton is D, a distinct format. The one-for-one change does not extend to line two or authorize D. Preserve exact format and approval scope rather than equate a correct outer carton count or visual similarity with full order fulfillment.
- Applying a line-specific one-for-one substitution across other formats or quantities.
- Treating a correct overall count as proof that every order line matches.
Fields to preserve
- Order line and required format
- Defines the intended mix.
- Approved substitution quantity and target
- Limits changes.
- Observed carton code and mismatch
- Supports reconciliation.
Test another case
Add a second C carton instead of A. Require line one to fail the one-substitution limit despite matching its count.
Use original empty cartons and art. Exclude formulas, private orders, vendor files and commercial terms.
