How to use Coat-Check Reconciliation and understand its results

Prepare production measurements or checklist records for one planning period. Confirm units, staffing assumptions and caller-selected criteria before running the calculation.
Enter ticketsIssued, itemsAccepted, ticketsReturned, itemsReleased, unclaimedItems using the field table and calculation rules, then run the tool.
Read intakeDifference, releaseDifference, inventoryDifference, reconciled. The explanation below defines the units, signs, ordering and any flags or placeholder values.
If the tool reports an input issue, correct the values and run it again. Apply the stated assumptions when interpreting a successfully returned result.

Input field	Meaning	Value type; see rules below	Requirement
ticketsIssued	Coat-check tickets issued	integer; minimum: 0	Required
itemsAccepted	Items accepted	integer; minimum: 0	Required
ticketsReturned	Tickets returned	integer; minimum: 0	Required
itemsReleased	Items released	integer; minimum: 0	Required
unclaimedItems	Unclaimed items	integer; minimum: 0	Required

Enter five nonnegative integer totals. Calculate all differences and return reconciled=true only when each is exactly zero. Inconsistent counts produce a successful false result rather than input rejection.

intake=issued−accepted; release=returned−released; inventory=accepted−released−unclaimed

Units, indexing, boundary conditions and exceptional cases are defined in the calculation rules above.

Output field	Meaning	Value type
intakeDifference	Tickets minus accepted items	integer
releaseDifference	Returned tickets minus released items	integer
inventoryDifference	Expected minus unclaimed inventory	integer
reconciled	Coat check reconciles	boolean

Limitations and assumptions

No ticket identifiers or individual items are matched. Equal totals can conceal offsetting record errors, losses or duplicate tickets.

Numeric inputs must be finite. Follow the calculation-specific rules for overflow, underflow and exceptional cases. Missing required fields, extra fields, wrong value types and violations of the calculation rules are input errors. A successfully returned false flag is an evaluated outcome; its meaning is explained above.
