    • Dispose of those consumable assets that are no longer required in your stockrooms.

    Before you begin

    Role required: asset, itil, itil_admin

    Know that the Planned for disposal column in the Consumable [alm_consumable] table indicates if the consumable asset is marked for disposal or not.

    Procedure

    1. Navigate to Enterprise Asset Workspace > Enterprise asset estate > Consumable assets.
    2. Open a consumable asset record and select Mark for disposal.
      Mark for disposal appears only for consumable assets that are in the in-stock state and not marked for disposal.
    3. In the Mark for disposal dialog box, enter the total quantity or partial quantity of the consumable asset.
      If you enter a partial quantity, a new consumable record is created with the substate as pending disposal. If you enter a total quantity, the consumable's record substatus changes to "pending disposal" and you return to the same consumable record.
      After you mark the consumable asset for disposal, Mark for disposal no longer appears.
      Note:
      Only a consumable marked for disposal is included in a disposal order. After you mark a consumable for disposal, it does not get merged with another consumable record.
