Consumables are hardware assets that are not tracked individually, but as a quantity of items in a stockroom, such as keyboards, mice, cables, etc.1

When a stock manager receives a new delivery of consumables, they can use the Mobile Asset Receiving feature to scan the barcode of the purchase order and receive multiple assets against it using a mobile device2

If the received consumables match another record in the stockroom based on the following fields: Assigned to, Model, Model category, State, Stockroom, and Substate, then the data is automatically merged to create a blended quantity and cost3

This means that the system calculates the average cost per item and the total quantity of the consumables in the stockroom, and updates the existing record accordingly3

This feature helps to reduce duplicate records and simplify inventory management of consumables3
