Consumables

The Consumables area located in the General section of System allows users to add predefined consumable items to the system, which can then be requested through a Consumables Order.

The Consumables area contains a Quick Search which targets the Consumable & Code columns.

To add a new Consumable, select the + New button in the top right corner.

The system directs the user to the Consumable Details page to enter a Name, Code, Make, Unit, Category, Cost & Priority for the Consumable.

The Priority number determines the position of a consumable item in the list when an operative or admin user is creating an order.

Users can update the Cost of a consumable at any time by navigating to its record. However, any changes made will not affect consumable orders that were created prior to the cost update.

To delete a Consumable, users must select the Delete button in the top-right corner. Although, the system will prevent deletion if the consumable has already been ordered.

Deleted Consumables are displayed in red within the table, making them easy to identify. Deleted Consumables are not available for selection elsewhere in the system.

Only Users with the Super User switch enabled in their user record can view deleted Consumables in the table.

Super Users can Restore a deleted Consumable by selecting the deleted record in the table and clicking the Restore button located in the top-right corner of the screen. Once restored, the Consumable will return to its standard table colour and will again be available for selection throughout the system.
