Consumables - introduce possibility for incremental item number

Patrick 1 year ago updated 1 year ago 1

Hi folks,

GLPI has been awesome so far but we are missing on thing at this point:

User Story / Usecase:

We have many consumables stored pysically in our location. For every new item we want to manage as a consumable we need to look at the list of our existing consumables and look for the most recent item number we gave a consumable, then add the new consumable and type out the new item number by hand and label the Product with the number. This is tedious work.

Problem:

Currently we have to see through all our consumables to add a new one and give it the correct item number since there are no templates for Consumables where we can use the commonly used <#####> syntax.

Solution:

Add Consumable Templates or an auto incrementing "item number" field to consumables

We would love for you to give this a thought and maybe implement it in a future release. 

Thank you in advance for considering!

Best regards

Patrick

Never mind, i found the solution.

Marketplace Plugin Name: Inventory Number Generation

This Plugin can auto-generate inventory numbers by category ("consumables") and you can even define a syntax / format
