Item & supply settings
With the Items and Supplies settings, you can create a structured base that reflects your physical inventory. This base is then used to build assets in the Asset Manager.
To access these settings, you need an Enterprise plan.
How to Build an Item and Supply Hierarchy?
Adding and managing assets in the Asset Manager is based on predefined entities:
Items
Supplies (hereafter “Supplies”)
Both Items and Supplies are organized into:
Item Categories
Item Subcategories
Supply Categories
Manufacturers
Suppliers
Before adding Items and Supplies, set up your structure by creating categories and subcategories for Items, as well as categories for Supplies. By default, the system includes only Mining Equipment (category) and Miners (subcategory).
You also need to add manufacturers and suppliers for all future assets. All these actions can be managed in: Settings > Asset Settings.
