The Inventory Transactions table lists all events (such as used, lost, broken, or transferred) for the objects tracked through the Mobileforce FSM Inventory, which may consist of parts, tools, equipment, or consumables.
Example:
If a technician is working on a service task that requires borrowing a jackhammer from the warehouse, installing equipment using four bolts from their truck, and consumes a can of silicone spray, then each of these would be tracked through an inventory transaction.
This table allows you to review the inventory that was used for this task for planning, auditing, and purchasing decisions.
Mobileforce displays the Inventory Transactions section on the Service Task page, allowing you to review all transactions for the task.
Additionally, you can click the 
button to open the table in its own window.
The Inventory Transactions table lists the following columns:
- Name:
The name of the transaction. - Transaction Type:
Descriptions that help track inventory creation and consumption. These types can also be customized for your specific business needs. If you need further customization for this list, please contact Mobileforce Support.
The default values are:- Borrowed for a Service Task
- Returned to Warehou se
- Stored on Fleet
- Used in a Service Task
- Scrapped or Discarded
- Lost or Misplaced
- Transferred to another Warehouse
