Role required: asset

Procédure

1. Navigate to All > Asset > Portfolios > Consumables.
2. Click the Display Name of a consumable asset with a state of In Stock and a substate of Available.
3. Click Consume.
4. Enter the Quantity to consume.
5. In Asset, click the lookup icon and select the asset associated with the consumable.
   For example, a mouse tracked as a consumable asset can be associated with a non-consumable asset such as a computer.
6. In User, click the lookup icon and select a user associated with the consumable.
7. Click OK.
   On the Consumable form, the Quantity field shows the reduced number. The Consumables list contains two records for the consumable in the specific stockroom: one with a state and substate of In Stock and Available (if you did not consume the entire quantity), and one with a state of Consumed. If a consumable is not in the process of being transferred to a different stockroom and information in the data record is the same, similar records merge automatically. After a consumable is consumed, the record remains in the system for reporting purposes.
