Overview
Quantities for a consumable can be tracked against a location, a location room, or against an "Unassigned" placeholder location. A consumable's Current Quantity is the sum of its quantity across every location, room, and Unassigned.

Low Stock and Reorder Indicators
The Reorder Quantity field on a consumable lets you set a threshold where you want to reorder, and the Reorder Count and Reorder Package Count record how much to order when you do. The system doesn't place orders automatically; use these fields to record what you need and build reports or an external reorder process around them.
On the Consumables search page, a quantity at or below the Reorder Quantity is called out with a badge:
- At Reorder Quantity (blue) - quantity equals the Reorder Quantity.
- Below Reorder Quantity (yellow) - quantity is below the Reorder Quantity but above 0.
- Out of Stock (red) - quantity is at 0 or negative.
- OK (green) - quantity is above the reorder quantity.
