Kanoa Inventory Training

This section is focused on Kanoa Inventory: the spare parts and consumables that keep CoreForge's machines running. You'll build a parts catalog, set stocking rules for a storeroom, record stock coming in and going out, and link parts to the machines they fit.

ConceptWhat it is
PartAnything tracked in stock: consumables, critical spares, repairable or serialized components
Inventory locationWhere stock is kept: a storeroom asset in your asset model
Stocking policyThe rules for one part in one storeroom: min, max, reorder point, safety stock, cycle count
TransactionEvery stock movement: receipts, issues, transfers, adjustments
Bill of materialsWhich parts belong to an asset or an equipment model
Reference Materials: Kanoa Inventory - What Inventory does and how it fits into Kanoa MES.

Kanoa Inventory provides a complete set of functions for managing parts, stock levels, locations, suppliers, and bill of materials (BOM) across your asset hierarchy. All functions are available under the system.kanoa.inventory namespace.

Parts​

A part is any physical item tracked by the inventory system such as consumables, critical spares, repairable components, or serialized items. Parts are categorized, assigned a default unit of measure, and linked to manufacturers and suppliers.

Locations & Bins​

Stock is stored in locations (e.g. a storeroom or warehouse associated with an asset) and optionally organized into bins within that location (e.g. shelf A3, drawer 12).

Inventory Policies​

A policy defines the stocking rules for a part at a specific inventory asset such as min/max quantities, reorder point, reorder quantity, safety stock, and cycle count frequency.

Transactions​

All stock movements are recorded as transactions. A transaction type (receipt, issue, adjustment, return, etc.) classifies the movement. Transactions can be linked to reference numbers (purchase orders, work orders) and cost centers.

Bill of Materials (BOM)​

BOMs can be defined at the model level (applies to all assets of that model) or at the asset instance level (overrides or extends the model BOM). Each BOM item links either a part or a sub-model to a position on the asset.


Before you start​

  • Complete Kanoa Ops Training. Inventory uses the CoreForge asset model.
  • Kanoa Maintenance Training is recommended first. One lesson issues parts to the coolant leak work order you raised there.
  • Your gateway needs a Kanoa Inventory license (a trial license is fine).
  • Inventory screens are under Inventory → Parts and Configuration → Inventory.
