Spares Card
The spares card is very similar to the device card, and on the spare part data section stores all relevant attributes for the spare part, and allows also setup "Category" and "Manufacturers" which can be used to filter / sort. In the case below we have some custom fields added "Make your own filed" and "Suppliers" as examples, the suppliers being a drop down selection.
The "Minimum count" field can be set to the minimum level that should be held in stock, dropping below this will allow you to quickly see what needs ordering from the spares view, also via an email of spares that need to be ordered. There is a quick selection on the "Spares" section on the main page to filter only those below.
If you want to track the maintenance costs you should also include the "Cost" of the part, you can choose in settings who can see costs if needed.
EAN Codes allow for parts to be identified through a standard bar code system, especially useful on th Emobile for identification and spares used, where only the quantity used needs to be updated.

Spares connecting via API and ERP / MRP or account software
If you are using an ERP / MRP system or accounting to manage the Spares parts you may want to link to the Alldevice spares module, this can be done with the API option, which allows data exchange. It can also be used for initial uploading of spare parts and data. For the full API documentation click here.
