      How to manage consumed lots

      This article explains the handling of consumed lots.

      Consuming versus deleting a lot

      Deleting a lot will remove it entirely from your account. You will loose ability to filter for it or report on it. Deleted lots are irrecoverably.

      By marking a lot as consumed you will still be able to view the lot in its current state and its history, filter for it and report on it. Plus, you can add it back into your active inventory any time. When a lot is marked as consumed it disappears from the overview table. Please note that consumed lots can not be merged. 

      We recommend to mark a lot as consumed rather than to delete it.

      Marking lots as consumed

      There are several ways to manually mark a green lot as consumed:

      Note: When you have used your entire stock of a lot of green coffee and the actual weight is 0 kg/lbs, it will automatically be marked as consumed. 

      Via the overview page

      To mark one or more than one lot as consumed, follow the steps below: 

      1. Login to the online platform C-sar. 
      2. Go to the Green Inventory overview page 
      3. Check the box related to the lot(s) you want to mark as consumed. A menu at the top of the table appears. 
      4. Click Manage > Mark consumed.
      5. Confirm the action by clicking Yes, mark as consumed. 

      Hint: You can also consume lots by enabling the Has been consumed column via the Customize button. Click the respective Mark consumed in the table button to consume a lot.

      Via the lot's detail page

      A green lot can also marked as consumed in the individual lot view. 

      1. Go to the lot's detail page, by clicking on the ID-tag of the lot.
      2. Click Manage > Mark consumed from the menu top right and confirm the action.

      Finding consumed lots

      Depending on your view, consumed lots disappear from the main overview page. To make them visible, follow the steps below: 

      1. Go to the Green Inventory overview page 
      2. Click the Customize button top right
      3. Move the toggle button at the bottom of the menu to the right to include consumed green inventory.
      4. Your consumed lots will now appear on the overview table. Their ID-tag is greyed out.

      Unconsuming consumed lots

      There are several ways to unconsume a lot:

      • Via the overview or detail page
      • Via the adjust weight function

      Via the overview or detail page

      Unconsume a lot via the Green Inventory overview page: 

      1. Include consumed green inventory to the table.
      2. Check the box related to the lot(s) you want to mark as consumed. A menu at the top of the table appears. 
      3. Click Manage > Mark not consumed.
      4. Confirm by clicking Yes, mark as unconsumed. 
      You can do the same from the lot's detail page. 

      Via the adjust weight function

      When restocking a consumed lot, the easiest way is to adjust the weight of the lot you want to unconsume. 

      1. Go to the Green Inventory overview page and Include consumed lots. 
      2. Click the Adjust weight () button next to the lot in question or mark more than one unconsumed lots by checking the respective boxes and click Manage > Adjust weight. 

        This can also be done via lot's detail page by clicking on Manage > Adjust weight in the upper right side of the screen.

      3. Once the weight has been updated, the lot will automatically be marked as unconsumed.
