Stock Item custom value

[rellisdev]

I am using inventree to manage a large amount of stock, I have a case where a part (camera) is being used for multiple different jobs so having to find a way to differentiate between different stock items. The only way I have found so far to differentiate between stock items is with the serial tag, which is very useful, but I need something more so that I can include more details about each unique stock item.

My current method is that a stock item has it's serial number and we have a separate sheet for what serial numbers are assigned to what jobs. What would be really useful is a custom field for a stock item where I can put the job it is apart of so we can then print labels to put on the item with the name, serial and the job it is assigned to.

@rellisdev there are a couple of ways you could go about this:

Notes Field

You can use the "notes" field for each item to add some arbitary notes about each stock item

Test Results

You can overload the "test results" functionality to add a "result" against each stock item which contains the custom data.

Metadata

Each stock item can have custom "metadata" which allows you to add custom JSON data against the item - https://docs.inventree.org/en/stable/extend/plugins/metadata/

This is not generally available in the user interface, but can be used by plugins.
