Comparing Events Across Two Months

A month boundary can divide two nearby discards into different reviews. Looking at the dates explains why one event appears in May and another in June even though they involve the same ingredient.

A restored backup contains one 20 g spinach discard on May 31 and one 30 g discard on June 1 of the same year.

Each event belongs to its recorded month

Each month shows one discard event. The row in May is 20 g and the row in June is 30 g.

Review both months from the restored history

1. Restore a valid backup containing those existing events, batches and required references.
2. Choose May in the waste tracker and review.
3. Choose June and review again.

The monthly filter uses the stored discard date. Counts describe recorded events, while their amounts remain separate quantities to compare in compatible units.

Retain matching batch and event records when using backups; do not hand-edit only the waste array.
