Consumables

Consumables are goods that will be used up during a cruise. There are two types of consumables: single (just called consumable) and multiple. Single consumables are goods without stock management. These are relevant for complete packing lists required by customs. Multiple consumables are goods for which stock is managed in the IMS.

On the ‘Consumables Overview’ page and in the Planlists, different types of consumables are marked with specific icons:

	Single consumable
	Multiple consumable
	Hazardous content

Add new consumable

Start adding a new consumable by clicking the ‘New’ button. This opens the ‘New consumable’ form. Fill in the forms as completely as possible. The available fields may vary by organization. After saving the form you will have the option to add additional information. To do this, look up the newly created consumable and click on it. This expands four tabs: Properties, Purchase History, Locations and Customs. Use the buttons on each tab to add additional information.

New consumable form

¹ Appears when multiple and a unit is selected.

² Appears when the consumable is stated as hazardous.

³ Appears when the consumable is stated as suitable for mooring.

Properties tab

Here you can see the different properties of the consumable. These properties reflect the ones entered at the new consumable form.

NOTE: For multiple consumables the price will be automatically calculated based on the purchase history.

Purchase History tab

Here you can register previous purchases of the consumable as well as register deducted or lost quantities of the consumable. This tab is only available for multiple consumables.

Fig. Purchase history tab example.

Locations tab

Here you will find a list of storage locations for the consumable. Each storage location is for the entire quantity for a single purchase. If you want to distribute the purchased quantity over multiple locations, please register the purchase in several postings. This tab is only available for multiple consumables.

Customs tab

Here you can find and edit customs information for the consumable.
