A point-of-sale interface receives point-of-sale quantities for a number
of individual items, as well as point-of-sale quantity for a
miscellaneous group item that includes undifferentiated sales of one or
more of the individual items. An item indexer calculates an item index
for each individual item comprising a fraction of the miscellaneous group
item sales attributable to the individual item. A sales disambiguator
computes a revised point-of-sale quantity for each individual item using
the item index and the point-of-sale quantities for the miscellaneous
group item and the individual item.
