Consumables Tab in FSM Mobile
The Consumables tab lets a technician record inventory used from their van or location in a custom Field Service Consumable record in NetSuite. After the task is finished on mobile, that information is used to create a sales order in NetSuite.
The user selects an item, sets a quantity, and saves the record. Then they repeat those steps for the next item.
The mobile user never sees the sales order that's created. They only record inventory usage.
When the task is done, a scheduled script creates or updates the sales order with the parts used and sets it on the case in the Field Service Case Transaction field.
The Consumables and Sales Order tabs both let you add parts or items to a sales order, but they work differently and each has its own advantages. To help you decide the right option to use, see Deciding Between the Consumables and Sales Order Tabs.
