Consumption Tracking

Analyze part usage patterns

Print this section

Track which parts are used most, on which assets, and by which work orders.

What Is Tracked

  • Parts used per WO with quantities
  • Parts returned (unused)
  • Net consumption = used - returned
  • Trends over time
  • Top-consumed parts

Tip

Use history to forecast needs. 50 filters/month used = order accordingly.

Reviewing every stock movement

Inventory > Stock movements lists every movement of every part across the company, newest first: parts used on a work order, returns (with the reason given when the part was removed from the work order, and its note), receipts, adjustments and transfers. Filter by type, reason, part, work order, location and dates; each row links to its work order. This is how a warehouse keeper checks the parts used on and returned from work orders. It needs the permission to read inventory (inventory:read); opening a work order from a row also needs that work order to be within the user's data visibility.
