Feature Request: Check out accessories/consumables to Asset/Location/User in quantities >= 1

[Puddl36lum]

Expected Behavior (or desired behavior if a feature request)

Check In/Check out accessories (Ethernet Cables, power cords etc) to an asset/user/location in bulk. Example: Building a server rack requires more than one Ethernet cable and power cord and should be checked out to the server rack asset.

---

Actual Behavior

Currently, you can only check out accessories and consumables one at a time, and can only be checked out to a user. This is fine in the case of consumables but accessories should have the option of checking out to an asset at the very least. Must treat cabling and such as components in order to get that functionality.

[Whitehawk29FR]

+1 We would like to affect consumable or accessories (like RJ45 cables) to User/Location in a certain quantity.

[killzone111]

Is this still being worked on?

[benoithcc]

Is this feature is planned to be released one day? We just need yes or no. Thank you.

[jayavman]

I also hope so.

[arne-m]

We are hoping for the exact same features. Checking out Accessories (cables etc.) to Assets or Locations in bulk.

The more I use Snipe-IT the more I like it, but this is a glaring omission. The only thing that can be checked out to a location is an Asset? A good example is a network switch. Making them all assets is overkill, I mostly just need a quantity and to see where they are, but you can only give them to users not to locations. Another would be a power strip. I have 10 and I put one at some location and now I have 9. Handing them out to users is not the only or even the usual scenario. And even handing them to a user, it would be better to record the location that it is going to rather than the person you happened to give it to to install themselves. The person would be a comment, the location is the important part, unless you are really giving the item to them specifically, but for me that is a very rare case.

Another more broad possibility is that the concepts of Accessory, Consumable, and Component should be merged. They seem to have a ton of overlap in concept and not much difference. You should also be able to add/purchase and remove/discard quantities as an operation rather than just manually changing the quantity number. (I think this is in some other request already.)

This would be great for us too, We have our Desks created as Locations which we set the users primary location as, Then we assign the assets to the Desk location. We have keyboards and mice, For a while we were creating them as assets just so we could assign them to the Location.

If we could assign Accessories to the location instead that would be amazing and save us so much overhead in having to tack together a messy workaround.

Bump, why isn't this a thing yet?

[psmalley-ati]

Bump, any love for this feature request? It would save my team quite a bit of time.

[michaeloconnor1717]

Really need this feature to assist with managing network cables and other inventory items that don't need full asset tracking and just need a quantity

[caseyhoward]

Been looking into using snipe-it and I thought everything was great until I ran into this. Why can you only check out assets to locations and not accessories/consumables? It makes zero sense. I want to know where something is/went, not some arbitrary user it was checked out to. I don't get it. Just because it doesn't have a serial number, I don't want to know where it is?

And because I chose to make my items accessories instead of assets I can't manually update their individual locations. So I can't check them out to a location or edit the location. It's a lose lose. I have to treat all my accessories as assets now. Anyway, I'll probably still use snipe-it since there is really no alternative. It's just going to be slightly painful.

[JayStarrco]

I have been using snipeit for a month now and would love to be able to check out accessories to a location. Please add this feature as quickly as possible

[psmalley-ati]

My team needs this feature. It is currently taking multiple operations when a user has several monitors and for common use workstations or general areas cannot be tracked.

[thiago021]

It would be great to have this feature.

[snipe]

This feature already exists.

[snipe]

Well, qty for each. Checkout accessories to assets and locations is on develop, but the PR that was created isn't complete.
