How do I analyze consumable issues?
Under Reports, the Consumables category offers several analyses of your consumables. Two of them show you the issued quantities totaled for a period you choose freely. Returns are always deducted, so you see the actual consumption.
Report "Consumables (total)"This report totals the issues per consumable and storage. It shows you how much of a material left which storage during the period.
Report "Consumables (total by recipient)"This report totals the issues per consumable and recipient. Each row shows a consumable together with the recipient who received it and the quantity in the period. All recipient types appear as recipients, for example users, employees, projects, construction sites, or vehicles. The Recipient Type column tells you which kind of recipient it is.
Clicking the recipient name opens its detail view. If a recipient has since been deleted, its name remains in the report but is no longer clickable.
How to open a report- Open Reports in the menu.
- Select the desired report under "Choose report".
- Set the period. All issues and returns whose date falls within the period are included.
- Click Display.
Both reports show the consumable's name, additional name, quantity, and unit as well as the commercial data and custom fields. Use the column selection to show or hide columns, and the column filters to narrow down to a recipient or storage, for example. With Download CSV you export the result for further processing in Excel or another program.
