Stock ledger effect for Consumable goods on usage

ERPNext Stock/Inventory
1

Hi All,
I have a use case where consumables (like stationary for office, gloves/syringes/disposables/chemicals for labs and RnD operations) bought for various departments. This should exhaust with it’s usage from respective department with stock ledger effect.

Options which I could see,

  1. Stock reconciliation
  2. Delivery Note
  3. Stock Transfer to specific Warehouse (made to record consumed goods.)

are not appropriate to do proper booking of usage or booking without attaching a price to it (as it is not saleable goods). Stock should exhaust with a cost.

Help me if anything which is right fit for this requirement readily available. If not then any suggestion how this feature to be made available (if it is kind of generic need) so could be added as standard feature of the product.

Did you try Material Issue from Stock Entry?

It will stock-out item, with booking of an expense.

Yes, Right. It worked.
May be we should specify the same in document as well.

“Material Issue - If the material is being issued/consumed. (Outgoing/Consuming Material)”

Thanks.
