Create an Inventory Item

Register a new material, spare part, or supply in Zeltask to track stock levels, associate it with actions, and maintain full traceability.

Before You Start

• You need access to the Inventory module
• Gather information about the item: name, manufacturer, stock quantity, location

Steps

Step 1: Access the Inventory module

1. Click Inventory in the left navigation bar
2. You see cards displaying existing inventory items

Step 2: Enter basic information

Fill in the following fields:

Field	Description	Example
Name	Material or spare part name	"Conveyor Belt V-Ring"
ID	Internal identifier for organization	"BELT-001"

Model	Version or reference number	"VR-250"

Step 3: Set stock levels

1. Enter the Initial Stock — the quantity currently available
2. Enter the Minimum Acceptable Stock — the threshold that triggers notifications

When stock reaches the minimum level, the system alerts the responsible team so they can reorder before running out.

• Attach technical documentation so team members can access specs without searching
• Add photos to help identify similar-looking parts quickly
• Use the ID field to match your organization's internal coding system

What Happens Next

Once created, the inventory item:

• Appears in the Inventory list (card or table view)
• Generates a QR code automatically for field identification
• Can be edited, commented on, and linked to actions
• Tracks all changes in the activity history
