How can I confirm inventory items are added after completion?

Required inventory is the inventory necessary to complete a certain activity. If any required inventory is defined for an activity, such required inventory is regarded as one of the criteria of activity assignment to resources. The required inventory is checked against the resource's inventory to see whether the resource's inventory is sufficient to complete the activity. If the resource has no required inventory in their pool, the activity will not be assigned to such resource.

You can use the installation of required inventory as a workflow step. The application checks when all the required inventory items are installed and show the corresponding step within a workflow as completed.

1. Click Configuration > Workflow Manager.
2. Click the workflow for which you want to add install required inventory as a step.
3. Click the plus icon (Add new) in the right pane.
4. Complete the fields on the Add step dialog box with the values given this table:

   Field	Action
   This step will open	Select Standard action screens.
   Screen	Select Inventory [list_inventories].
   Position in workflow	Select the position of the step within the workflow. If you are adding the first step, ‘First’ is automatically populated. You can change the order of the steps on the Workflow page as well.
   Name translations	Add the name of the step in the languages that you prefer. This name is displayed on the workflow panel.
   Show available when	Select the visibility condition for the step. The condition can be based on a field or property, or a step in the workflow. This step is visible for end users only when the condition is satisfied. Always available (no conditions) means that a step is displayed for end users initially.
   Show completed when	Required inventory in (equal) installed is displayed by default. If you want the step to be completed when the resource completes the inventory checklist, add the condition Inventory checklist in (equal) completed.

5. Click Add.
   The step is added.
6. Click Save.
   The workflow is saved. When a resource marks the inventory checklist as complete, the step is marked as complete.
