Printer Cartridges
G'day All,
We've had SDP for about two months now, and we're starting to get inventories up and running. But I just wanted to ask if anyone had put printer consumables into SDP, and if so, how do you go about administering the constant incoming and outgoing consumables?
In my thinking, we'd put all our current stock in as individual assets, with names like C4096A - 001 (HP LaserJet 2100/2200 black Toner), then when someone needs a new toner, we would allocate an asset to the department or individual. When that person requests another toner a month or two later, another toner would be assigned, but what do we do with the existing one they have allocated? Simply delete or use a custom drop down field to change it's status? What I'm not sure about is how stock levels would be controlled and identified. Because only a product can be ordered through Purchases, and products don't have custom fields(?) is there any way to put in minimum levels, etc.
Any help in getting my head around this would be much appreciated.
