What must exist before a consumable can be consumed?

A consumable is a type of asset that is used up or depleted over time, such as printer cartridges, paper, or batteries1.

Before a consumable can be consumed, it must have a model record, a model category record, and a consumable record in ServiceNow12.

A model record defines the attributes of a consumable, such as its name, manufacturer, cost, and quantity12.

A model category record specifies the type of consumable, such as office supplies, hardware, or software12.

A consumable record tracks the current stock level, location, and status of a consumable12.

A stock order record is used to request new consumables from a vendor or supplier, but it is not required before a consumable can be consumed13.

A transfer order record is used to move consumables from one location to another, but it is not required before a consumable can be consumed14. References: 1: Consumables - Product Documentation: Vancouver - ServiceNow 2: Create a consumable model - Product Documentation: Vancouver - ServiceNow 3: Create a stock order - Product Documentation: Vancouver - ServiceNow 4: Create a transfer order - Product Documentation: Vancouver - ServiceNow
