Description
Take minimum floored quotient as complete parcels; return each leftover and all indexes tied on that quotient.
Stock planning relates quantities to use rates, reservations, losses and package sizes. The resulting coverage is a model of supplied inventory, not assurance of edibility, safe storage, adequate nutrition or actual recipient eligibility.
Take minimum floored quotient as complete parcels; return each leftover and all indexes tied on that quotient.
When to use this tool
Use Food Parcel Mixedpack Splitting Rounding Gap when you need an explicit food-inventory or distribution-budget calculation.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter available, requiredPerParcel. Keep parallel arrays aligned. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read completeParcels, leftovers, limitingIndices. Use the output convention below.
Require aligned nonempty nonnegative available quantities and positive per-parcel requirements. Take minimum floored quotient as complete parcels; return each leftover and all indexes tied on that quotient.1
| Input field | Meaning and units | Accepted input |
|---|---|---|
| available | Available | Required. Array of safe integer; maximum items 256. |
| requiredPerParcel | Required Per Parcel | Required. Array of safe integer; maximum items 256. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |
|---|---|---|
| completeParcels | Complete Parcels | Required. Safe integer. |
| leftovers | Leftovers | Required. Array of safe integer; maximum items 256. |
| limitingIndices | Limiting Indices | Required. Array of safe integer; maximum items 256. |

}Limitations and assumptions
- Limiting indexes use whole-parcel capacity, so different continuous ratios can tie. This inventory model does not assess package balance, nutrition, or actual distribution.
- Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Reconcile physical stock and the applicable handling and distribution procedures. Assess food condition and appropriate nutritional requirements independently of inventory arithmetic.
