Consumables and Hard Goods
Overview
TrackAbout uses the terms Hard Goods or Consumables to describe products our clients deliver to their customers and next expect to have returned. Consumables are not used for rent and this will be a one-time sale.
Examples of Hardgoods include items like welding wire.
Creating New Hard Goods
Just like for other assets tracked within Trackabout, all Consumables will have Product Codes associated with them.
Hard Goods or Consumables can be added from Consumable Good Product Code page.
Click on the Add New Product Code link to add a new hard good.
The added hard goods can be marked as deactivated if the code is no longer needed.
Consumables on TrackAbout Mobile
We have the ability to include Hard goods in different device specific actions e.g. Delivery action.
Charging for Consumables
Setting up Consumable Rates
Purchase prices for Consumables are set up in similar ways to rental rates; for Example the Standard Rates, Rate Brackets and Customer Rate Tables.
Displaying Consumables on Rental Invoices
Consumables can be invoiced along with Trackabout Rental Bills. This would be a one time charge and would display at the bottom of a normal rental invoice.
