How Automatic Deduction Works

From work order to stock update—fully automated, fully accurate, fully trackable

1

Technician Selects Parts

While completing a work order, technician selects parts from inventory database. Specify quantity needed for each part.

Part name, number, and supplier visible
Current quantity on hand displayed
Insufficient stock warning before selection
2

Stock Validation Check

Before work order is saved, AssetLab validates sufficient inventory exists. If requesting 5 filters but only 3 available, error prevents completion.

Real-time stock level check
Error shows available vs. required
Prevents overselling inventory

Automatic Deduction

When work order is saved, database trigger automatically deducts quantities from inventory. Instant, accurate inventory reduction.

Work Order Update Handling

If technician edits work order and changes parts list, old parts are restored and new parts deducted. Inventory always reflects current state.

Old parts restored first
New parts deducted second
Net change calculated accurately
5

Automatic Restoration (Delete)

If work order is deleted, all parts are automatically restored to inventory. No manual correction needed.

Parts quantities added back
Immediate inventory correction
No manual intervention required

Set desired quantity for each part. Get alerted when stock falls below threshold.

How Reorder Points Work

Set a desired quantity for each part (your reorder point). When current stock falls below this threshold, the part appears in your low stock report.

Manual vs. Automatic Tracking

Stop relying on technicians to remember stock updates. Automation ensures accuracy.

Manual Tracking

  • Technicians forget to log parts used
  • Stock levels drift from reality over time
  • Surprise shortages during critical repairs
  • Annual physical counts to reconcile
  • Spreadsheet reconciliation across teams
  • No validation before parts are used

AssetLab Automation

  • Parts logged automatically on work order save
  • Stock levels always reflect actual inventory
  • Low stock warnings before you run out
  • Real-time accuracy without manual counts
  • Single source of truth for all users
  • Stock validation prevents overselling

How Organizations Use Parts Inventory

"Before AssetLab, we ran out of critical HVAC parts mid-summer because technicians forgot to log usage. Now, inventory updates automatically when work orders are completed. We haven't had a surprise shortage in 18 months."

David Martinez
Facilities Director, School District
18 months zero shortages

"The stock validation saved us. A technician tried to use 12 filters on a work order but we only had 5 in stock. System blocked the work order until quantity was corrected. Prevented a job site embarrassment."

Lisa Chen
Operations Manager, Property Management
Stock validation prevented errors

"We used to do quarterly physical inventory counts that took 2 days and cost $8k in overtime. With automatic deduction, our stock levels are accurate in real-time. We cut physical counts to once yearly just for audit purposes."

Robert Johnson
Maintenance Supervisor, Manufacturing
$24k/year saved on inventory counts

Your Inventory. Always Accurate.

Stop chasing technicians for stock updates. Stop running out of critical parts. Start trusting your inventory data.
