Usable Quantity Agreement — filling guide

The buyer and packer establish finished bottles × labels per bottle, then add project-specific setup use and reserve. In the worked example 2000 + 80 + 40 = 2120. Under a hypothetical permitted 10% underrun, a nominal2120 could become1908, leaving212 below the required pool. This arithmetic is not a waste standard or RP tolerance. Procurement asks the supplier to fill accepted_minimum, accepted_maximum, billing_basis and maximum_charge and link its acknowledgment. An outgoing request is not acceptance. At receipt the team records usable count by SKU/revision, follows the agreed discrepancy process and retains carton or roll IDs. Empty accepted fields remain open; do not substitute the calculated low case for the supplier promise.
