Parts/Resources

Spare parts are items that can be inventoried and used to maintain property assets. Resource items are used for business and social gatherings. You can control and keep track of the number and cost of these items by Configuration>Quality Mgmt>Inventory>Parts/Resources. Resource items may or may not be a plant asset, it all depends on your property's accounting practices.

Equipment like microphones, VCRs, overhead projectors and screens are considered resource items because they require little or no maintenance even though like fixed assets they are depreciable and used over a number of years.
