Editorial draft available to read. Factual and language review is pending. Examples are illustrative.
Decision and scope
Every quantity needs a unit, precision and context. Document whether it represents pieces, boxes, weight or length, and which conversion belongs to each product. Equivalences may depend on packaging or product revision. Do not mix theoretical weight with an actual measurement without a visible distinction between those two meanings.
Illustrative example
Illustrative example: a box contains twelve pieces for one product and ten for another. An import of twenty boxes cannot use one global coefficient. Preserve the original quantity, unit and applied conversion so a later reviewer can explain the resulting piece count without guessing which packaging was used.
Acceptance check
Test decimals, rounding, unknown units and packaging changes. Give conversions an owner and validity period. Accept the calculation when examples can be reproduced manually, incompatible units are rejected and a catalogue correction cannot silently rewrite already confirmed historical records or their reported production totals.
