Consumable records a part of an object that may need replacing. For example, a lightbulb that will burn out and need to be replaced, or motor parts for an object with moving parts.
You can record when a consumable part was last replaced, and when a replacement is next due.
When creating a new consumable term, you can add other details about the supplier, maker, usual location, cost, and more details in the consumable authority file.
