Matching Two Compatible Inventory Batches

Two small cartons can cover a pancake recipe even though neither does so alone. Adding compatible volumes for the search should not erase the separate package records that make dates and actual use manageable.

Two usable milk batches contain 50 mL and 0.05 L. A pancake recipe needs 80 mL.

Check two batches together

1. Record both milk batches and the other pancake ingredients.
2. Open the matcher and find Banana Oat Pancakes.
3. Inspect the milk match and return to inventory.

One requirement is covered by both

Milk shows 80 mL available toward the recipe and zero missing. Both original batches remain separate.

Fifty milliliters plus five hundredths of a liter supplies one hundred milliliters in total. The match uses eighty toward the recipe, while both original batch records remain separate and untouched.

Keep dates on the original packages when recording each batch.
