What Happens When You Add Spare Parts​

When you associate inventory items with an action:

  • The materials are linked to the action for traceability
  • You can see which resources were allocated to each task
  • Reports can track material usage across actions

Tips​

  • Add spare parts before starting work to ensure materials are available
  • Use the Inventory field for any materials consumed during task execution
  • For cost tracking of parts, also use the Costs section to record expenses
  • If a spare part doesn't exist in inventory, create it first in the Inventory module
