# How to consume spare parts in the work order?

- [x] PT
- [x] ES

---

On the **asset** form (location, equipment or tool), you can specify the **parts** and the respective **quantities** that the asset needs to work properly. The parts associated with assets are in the **Spare Parts** section and can be consumed in the work order **automatically** or **manually**.

---

## Automatic consumption

To enable the automatic consumption of spare parts, follow these steps:

1. Go to the desired work order type, in **Settings | Work | Work Order Types**;
2. In the **Costs** section, enable the **Consumption from spare parts** option.

When a work order changes for the first time to a **state** that allows **cost recording**, a consumption with the parts defined in the **Spare Parts** section of the **asset form** is recorded **automatically**. **Automatic consumption** only happens on that **first change**.

If there is not enough **stock**, the consumption is not performed.

---

## Manual consumption

When a work order is in a state that allows **cost recording**, you can record **material consumptions**.

To create a material **consumption** with **spare parts**, follow these steps:

1. Go to **Work | Work Orders**;
2. In the list of work orders, select the desired work order;
3. On the work order form, click on **Operations** and select **Consumptions**;
4. In the **Report Consumptions**, click on the arrow next to the **Create** button and select **Copy From Spare Parts**;
5. On the **Copy Consumptions** screen, in the **Spare Parts** section, select the desired parts;
6. Click on **Create Consumption**.

When filling in the consumption report, the following rules apply:

- By default, the **equipment**, **tool** or **location** field is filled in with the work order's asset;
- If the work order is for a **route**, choose the asset category and fill in the corresponding asset field;
- You can only select warehouses of the company for which the requisition was registered;
- You can only record a quantity equal to or lower than the quantity selected in the requisition;
- The **workshop manager** to which the work order belongs can **create**, **edit** and **delete** records on behalf of the technician.
