Managing Consumable Suppliers
Overview
Consumables are those materials that are used in the analytical processes of a laboratory.
Consumables are supplied by suppliers, so before consumable suppliers are configured, suppliers are configured.
This process is pertinent to laboratory managers and laboratory supervisors who record consumable usage and supply to ensure sufficient materials for ongoing analytical processes.
Process
Suppliers are maintained by the Consumables application. You need specific rights to have visibility to this application.
Suppliers are maintained using simple SCRUD (search, create, review, update, delete) functionality under the Clients » Client codes node. You need specific rights to have visibility to this node.
A client links to multiple contacts and projects, such that, when a job is registered for the client, then the job can link to a project and contact associated with the client or project.
