Why mark the lots consumed?
When your stock of a lot of green coffee reaches 0 kg/lbs, it will be automatically marked as consumed.
You can also manually mark lots as consumed, even if they aren't at this weight, such as in cases of damage from mold or water. You will still be able to view the current state and history of your lots.

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 permanently removes all history, making filtering and reporting impossible, and the deletion cannot be undone.
Congratulations! You are now able to manage the consumed lots.
