How can a Location Consume a Consumable Asset?

mnaranjor · ‎08-23-2023

When trying to Consume a consumable asset, I can only assign the consume action to either an asset or a user. I would like a Location to be added to the Consume action form, so that I can track the expenses by locations. Has anyone done this before? If so, what would be the best approach? I am attaching a image of the form that pops up when you click on the Consume button.

Hi @mnaranjor

to answer your question: "No" it is not possible as the industry standard says a consumable is assigned to a user or an asset.

But to be honest, you ask the wrong question. Your requirement is "track the expenses by locations". As users should be assigned to locations, you can generate any kind of reporting with considering the user level between a consumable and a location.
