Reading Reason Counts as Events

Two small discards for the same reason should be visible as two occasions, not mistaken for two grams or one combined loss. This makes the reason summary useful for noticing repetition.

A carrot batch has two confirmed discard events of 10 g and 30 g, both with reason Damaged.

Enter two events with the same reason

1. Record both removals as confirmed discards with the same reason text.
2. Open the tracker for their month.
3. Read the event rows and reason summary.

Read count and quantity separately

Two rows show 10 g and 30 g. The Damaged summary count is 2, representing two events.

The reason count is two because there were two records. Their food amount is forty grams in total; count and weight answer different questions about the same pattern.

Read quantities in the event rows before comparing different-size discards.
