      Managing consumed lots

      This article explains the handling of consumed lots and also how to mark your lots consumed and unconsumed.



      Why mark the lots consumed?

      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.

      This feature allows you to mark your lots as consumed, even if their actual weight is not 0 kg/lbs. For instance, if a lot is damaged due to issues like mold or water, rendering it unsuitable for roasting, you can easily mark it as consumed.

      In this case, you will still be able to view your lots in their current state and history.

      The steps of marking lots consumed 

      You can manage and track your inventory with the online platform C-sar in real time.

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

      Via the (Green) Inventory overview page

      By following the steps below, you can mark lots consumed via the (Green) Inventory overview page:

      1. Log in to the online platform C-sar.
      2. Navigate to (Green) Inventory on the main menu bar. You will be directed to the (Green) Inventory Overview page.

      Accessing your lots marked as consumed


      As mentioned before, when the weight of a green lot reaches 0 kg/lb, the lot is automatically marked as consumed.

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

      1. Navigate to the (Green) Inventory overview page.
      2. Click on the FilterIcon@2x Filter button.
      3. Select the checkbox next to 'Consumed' in the Status filter to include these lots in your view.

      FAQs

      What is the difference between marking a lot consumed and deleting?

      When you are marking a lot consumed, you keep all the history of that particular lot so you can filter and report on it. You can also add the consumed lots back to your active inventory at any time.

      Deleting a lot means all the history is gone, and you can not filter or report on it anymore. Furthermore, deletion is irrecoverable.
