Input Usage

Turn scheduled work into prepared crews.

Know what each route should carry, what each property used, what came back, and what the business needs to buy next.

OrdexisOne connects your consumable products, service requirements, mixtures, stock and purchasing to the work on the schedule. The office prepares from demand. Crews work from a route manifest. Usage records keep the materials connected to the service that consumed them.

Configured requirements become preparation while actual usage remains linked to the workTwo illustrative Input Usage examples. Carpet cleaning at 47 Elm Court is 500 square feet: the 180-square-foot study and 320-square-foot living room. Configured profile C-17 requires one litre per 100 square feet, giving five litres required and prepared for W-18 stop 01 through manifest M-818. Later entry U-810 records 4.5 litres used, 0.5 returned and zero waste. Separately, recurring fertilizer route N-06 has three scheduled requirements of eight, six and ten kilograms. Manifest M-206 is checked with 24 kilograms loaded. Field records account for 18 kilograms used at its three properties, five returned and one recorded as waste. These are separate products, units and examples, not prescribed treatment rates.Prepare from the scheduled work.Carpet cleaning · 47 Elm CourtC-17 · 1 L / 100 sq ft · W-18 / stop 01180320500 sq ftRequiredPreparedUsed5 L5 L4.5 L0.5 L returned · 0 L wasteM-818 preparation · U-810 actual useFertilizer · recurring route N-06Three scheduled service requirements8 kg6 kg10 kgRequiredPreparedUsed24 kg24 kg18 kg5 kg returned · 1 kg wasteM-206 · checked and load recordedSeparate products and units.

Define the requirements once

The service tells you what to prepare.

A list of products cannot explain what tomorrow's appointments will need. Service and mix profiles connect that catalog to the quantities required for the actual work.

Input catalog

Give each consumable a name, unit, cost and the details your team needs. Use the same product in service requirements, stock records, preparation lists and forecasts, so the office and crews work from the same information.

A consistent product foundation for the office and field.

Service profiles

Choose the supplies each service needs and how the quantity is calculated, such as by area or service amount. Scheduled work then carries the supply requirements you have set for that service.

Repeat the calculation across the work you schedule.

Mix profiles

Where a service uses a mixture or combination, define its component inputs and quantities. Keep that preparation connected to the products involved and the field-use records that follow.

Make your configured combinations part of preparation.

Built around what your company uses.

Cleaning products, seasonal treatments and other service consumables can use the same operational foundation. Your catalog, service requirements and applicable mix profiles determine the quantities needed for preparation.

The supply behind the service

Know what is available, and where it is held.

Set up stock points for the places your business holds inventory. Review available quantities and trace the movements that change that position, including purchases, receipts, consumption, waste and returns.

Track supplies in the packages and units your team uses. Record packages as they arrive and move, keeping receiving, storage and work preparation connected.

Package quantities and operational litres remain connected across two stock pointsIllustrative ready-to-use cleaning input stock on September 15, 2026. Receipt RC-817 against PO-817 received four configured five-litre packages, twenty litres, into Cleaning Store on September 14. Movement MV-817 on September 15 transferred one package, five litres, to West Preparation. After that recorded movement, Cleaning Store holds three packages or fifteen litres and West Preparation holds one package or five litres.

Forecast from the schedule

See a shortage before it reaches the crew.

Future requirements come from scheduled work. Compare that demand with on-hand supply, identify likely shortages and review the purchasing needs and cost implications while there is still time to prepare.

Scheduled service requirements expose a shortage before an ordered input becomes available stockIllustrative cleaning-input forecast at September 15, 2026, before field preparation. W-18 on September 16 requires fifteen litres for 1,500 square feet of scheduled carpet work. W-19 on September 17 requires twelve litres for 1,200 square feet. Both use configured profile C-17 at one litre per 100 square feet. The combined requirement is 27 litres. The selected stock scope contains fifteen litres at Cleaning Store and five at West Preparation, twenty litres in total, leaving a seven-litre shortage. The office has created PO-819 for two configured five-litre packages, ten litres, from the illustrative Cleaning Supply partner to Cleaning Store. Receipt is pending, so those ten litres are not part of the twenty litres on hand.Upcoming work needs 27 L.Cleaning input · forecast as of 15 SeptemberW-18 · 16 September1,500 sq ft · scheduled carpet work15 LW-19 · 17 September1,200 sq ft · scheduled carpet work12 L20 L on hand7 L short15 L Cleaning Store + 5 L West PreparationPO-819 · 10 L on order2 packs × 5 L · destination: Cleaning StoreCleaning Supply partner · receipt pendingIncoming stock is separate from the 20 L on hand.

The required route mixture becomes a prepared load through separately recorded staff actionsIllustrative later preparation checkpoint for route N-08 and manifest M-218 on September 18, 2026, before departure. Profile A has three visits requiring eight litres, Profile B four visits requiring seven litres, and Profile C five visits requiring nine litres, all of the same configured mixture: twelve visits and twenty-four litres total. Alex Rivera U-037 records manifest lock at 08:00, check at 08:05, input picking at 08:11, mix preparation at 08:24 and loading at 08:31. This later checkpoint explicitly records twenty-four litres prepared and loaded.

Account for the actual visit

Keep consumption with the property that used it.

The prepared quantity is the plan. Field records show what happened. Capture product usage with route, service and property context so the office can review the work behind the consumption.

Used

Record the inputs consumed at the property. Keep the quantity connected to the service and route, giving the business a more specific record than a stock reduction alone.

Wasted

Record waste separately from productive use. Preserve that distinction in the usage history when reviewing the inputs consumed during delivery.

Returned

Record the quantities that came back. Keep returns visible alongside use and waste when accounting for the route's prepared supplies.

A property usage entry stays distinct from preparation and whole-route returns and wasteIllustrative fertilizer usage at 17 Maple Crescent, route N-06. Its scheduled requirement is ten kilograms, while the actual property usage record U-206-03 records four kilograms used. A flat schematic service-property plan supplies context without asserting measured dimensions or treatment rates. The two other property records show eight kilograms used at 48 Cedar Avenue and six at 62 Oak Street. Across the complete route, manifest M-206 prepared twenty-four kilograms, eighteen were used, five returned to stock and one recorded as waste. Those return and waste values belong to the route total; this image does not automatically assign them to 17 Maple Crescent or treat its planned-minus-used difference as a return.Use belongs to the property.17 Maple Crescent · N-06 · fertilizerHouseService areaScheduled requirementRecorded use10 kg4 kgU-206-03 · actual property entryOther stops: 8 kg at 48 Cedar Avenue6 kg at 62 Oak StreetRoute: 24 kg prepared · 18 used · 5 returned · 1 waste
